Order of Functions on Form Screen has changed.

Posted on by ArkansasTrey

The look and feel of my PowerApps forms changed a week back. I just noticed the order of the functions in the screen to the right has changed from Most Used to Alphabetical. Example: under a Combo Box, the order of functions under DATA has changed from DisplayFields, SearchFields, Items, InputTextPlaceholder, to the overall alphabetical order of functions under DATA.

Is it possible to change this sort order from Alphabetical back to Most Used?

Thank you.

Hi @ArkansasTrey ,

I assume that is a Gallery you are referring to. What is its Items property ?

Warren, I am referring to the functions shown in the attached image.

In an older form I have worked on these functions would be in a different order: DATA (DataSource, DefaultMode, Item, ContentLangauge) and DESIGN (Fill, BorderColor, BorderStyle, BorderThickness, etc.)

This is the first project I have began since I noticed there was a change to the look and feel of PowerApps a few weeks ago. I presume the rearrangement of these functions was a part of the rollout. I would like to change the order of these back to how they were, if possible.

Thank you for any insight you can provide.
Trey.

@ArkansasTrey ,

It appears that you have a Modern Form. If you want to go back to what you are accustomed to, dele it and add a Classic Form.

Is this a configuration step I am not seeing? I created a test list, then went to Customize Forms from the list view Integrate drop down, and the defaulted form that is generated also shows the function options for each object listed in alphabetical order. I did not see an option through that workflow to select between Modern and Classic.

@ArkansasTrey ,

Yes as I mentioned, it appears that what you have is a Modern Form, which has been auto-created by Power Apps. The right panel order is not user configurable. You would need to delete the Form and add a Classic Form to change this.

What is the process for adding a Classic Form? I do not see that as an option and my research does not provide an answer. I also reviewed the List Settings -> Settings -> Form Settings and can confirmed that prior forms match the current form I am having an issue with. All are set to the "Use a custom Form created in PowerApps" choice.

I should also note that the prior forms where the function options are listed in a different order are only a few months old, as I started this role in November 2023. I dont know when the Classic vs Modern form versions were rolled out, but this change appears to have happened in the last week or so with the latest look and feel to SharePoint.

Thank you.

@ArkansasTrey ,

I think you are correct on the timing of the change as I have seen some other posts on this. If you delete the current Form, it should be available as “Edit Form”, but you need to be aware that you may have to set up a lot of things manually.
