In the admin, it seems that those fields selected to be displayed in a child post's row (in the table on the parent post's edit page) are ordered by the creation of the groups they belong to. It seems there's no way to reorder them. Sub-sub stuff, I know, but still, does anybody know a way to order them?

Hi, if I understand you correctly you would like to be able to set your own column order for the Post Relationship table in a parent Post. Is that correct? Unfortunately, arbitrary column order is not currently supported in Toolset. If this is something important for your site, I can submit it to our developers as a feature request.

Please let me know if I have misunderstood what you are trying to accomplish, or if you would like to request user-specified column order be added to Toolset as a new feature.

Hi Christian, yeah, you got it correct.

It came to my mind because:
- admin columns can be ordered;
- post relations are an important part of the admin interface esp. since repeatable fields should be handled with CPTs.

Ordering is a good idea while selecting child fields to be displayed in the parent post admin, yeah, I think so. Although I see some discrepancy here (actually the field groups should be ordered, but here you are selecting fields). So if you agree, I'd love to see such a feature.

(Plus: the table-like structure might be the target of some redesign at a certain point, but I understand, simplicity is at stake here. I'll leave this to you now.) – Thanks for the reply!
