Ordering of custom fields in task
under review
Quinn Danyluk
When custom fields are created, the order of the fields can be customized in the Manage custom fields for the list view. However, this does not translate to the order that the custom fields appear in the task (which is set strictly to an alphabetical order). The order in the task should be customizable and reflect the order in the Manage custom fields.

Hi all - thanks for the feedback on this! We currently allow for either A-Z ordering for custom fields, or drag/drop manual reordering; however, there is a certain order that is always respected today: Required Custom Fields, Pinned Custom Fields, Custom Fields w/ values, Custom Fields w/o values.
I'd love to hear from you here on how you would like to see this ordering work for custom fields across your Workspace to best enable your workflows across teams!

It would be very helpful to be able to set deault custom fields for all of my tasks in task view. I always find myself adding in the field "see latest comment" in task view, but have to do this individually for every task, which is annoying. Also, I do not need the assignee column to be visible in my task views but I cannot change this to no longer be a default field in task view.

Caroline Ginty In your comment from 2/2023 you wrote that you currently have drag/drop manual reordering, but this doesn't seem to exist in the current task custom fields view. Can you clarify? We definitely would like to see this functionality.

Urgh! this is really annoying me! Why on EARTH would you make it so that we can't display the fields in the order that we want them? Ie drag and drop them... My frustration levels rise every second with this app.

HI,
It is important for our team to have fields in a certain order to ensure efficient processing of case. This is going to impede the roll out of our updated system.

I need the custom fields to be listed ABOVE the description, where the "properties" are. I do not use: Priority, due date, time tracking fields and have to scroll down and open the custom fields to edit a task. Yucky. Let us put them where we need them please!

I would like the option to 'break' the locked order if needed in some flows. This could be useful for specific usecases.

Wanted to jump on the bandwagon as the ability to reorder Custom Fields that meets our needs is very important.
Seems it's confusing to me why a feature that was available in previous (ClickUp v2) version and removed (accidently?) in version 3 should not be "Under Review", rather should be included in the Planned stage of work. Never a good thing for a program/application to lose (previous) functionality unless it's to bring a new and improved feature that replaces and enhances a capability. From the posted comments, this does not seem to be the case unless there is something imminent that ClickUp developers have planned that would impact the ability to actually return previous functionality.
