I have a form that is connected to a SharePoint List. I set the number of columns to 6 in my form. I shorted 3 of my fields in the 2nd row to make room for 2 more fields, which are on the 3rd row. However, I cannot get my fields from row 3 to move up to row 2. I set the X and Y coordinates to correct values. Y is the same value as the others in the row and the X is at the end of the previous field in row 2, but it only wants to move the fields down to the bottom of the form.
I figured out what the problem was. I was only using 5 columns, but had overlap with some of the columns, so it was like I had 7 columns, but only had my form set to use 6. When I set the columns to 12, I was able to move fields like I was able to before.
The only scenario where you have full control over the order in your form is when u choose wrap count 1 and place the datacards beneath each other. That way you xan have the order as u wish, otherwise its just a pain and will never work

what he said ^
avoid forms when possible, if you like aesthetics
shifting and switching input contros in a form can be pain in the a..
there is not really a way to achieve this.
when it comes to a scenario like this i never use a form and just throw the labels and the input controls on my screen and use the patch function to save items instead of submitform function
