dear Sir,

I'm trying to fix the sort order for datacards in a form but whenver i try to place a card somewhere it kind of distorts the order of the cards, its vertically aligned form.

Thank you

Have you tried disabling the "snap to columns" form option? That should give you more freedom for re-arranging the cards.

order is given by the X and Y properties.
if you have 2 cards (A and B) having 1/2 of the parent width then to have them ordered A & B on the same line then:
for A: x=0, y=0
for B: x=1, y=0

Now if you have C with width equal to parent width and you want C on the second line than:
C: x=0, y=1

To place D on the same line with C, be sure the sum of their width < parent width and
😧 X=1, y=1

You can change the order of C and D by switching the X property in between C and D, leave the same Y
If C.witdh+D.width > parent.Width than D will be placed on the next line.

Hope it helps.

Hi @Salah,

Could you please share a bit more about your PowerApps app's configuration?

I agree with @dinusc's thought almost, I think you have enabled the "Snap to columns" option within the EditForm (or DisplayForm) of your PowerApps app.

Please take a try to disable the "Snap to columns" option within the EditForm (or DisplayForm) of your PowerApps app, then check if the issue is solved on your side.

More details about the "Snap to columns" option within EditForm (or Displayform), please check the following article:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/working-with-form-layout#arrange-cards-in-columns

Best regards,

Kris

You can try to edit the fields in the form from the 'Edit fields' link next to the 'Fields' property. Then from the Field dialog that appears to the left of the properties, you can drag the field you want to move in the order either up or down which then moves its data card position within the form and accomplishes the reordering without having to change all the Y position values manually.

The Edit Fields drag and drop works perfectly until you save when converting a SharePoint list form into a PowerApps form. Re-opening after a save and they are all back out of the order you set. Then when you try to re-order again the Y coordinates glitch out to random numbers and sit over the top of each other.
Please advise how to handle this.
