Mismatch: Collection Fields Layout and Initial Values

[ashutoshkulkarn]

I am trying to create a collection with say, 8 fields: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h. I set their data type and description, etc. But when I go to "Initial Values" tab and click "Add Row", then it creates a row which is not the same sequence. It will be something different, e.g. a, b, c, h, g, d, e, f Any known way to fix this?

I had this in the past and the way around I found was to delete the collection completely and start again.... it seemed to remember the order then.... hopefully that'll work for you....

I tried that and it worked for me too. But it is quite random in nature. For example, if I change datatype of a couple of fields, they may or may not change their sequence later. Even a copy of the same collection, might exhibit a different sequence or behavior. It's quite random. I am trying to understand if there is a logic, or a system that it follows, so as to figure out why this may be happening. Thanks for the response!
