Re-ordering Columns in an Intake Form Sheet

Question

I created an intake form to manage all the requests my team receives. The first question on the form is "request type" with 5 different options available. Based on the users selection, all relevant fields for that type of request are shown to user to fill out. So this form was fairly complex to setup with all the conditional logic to hide show fields.

My question is, can I re-order the fields/columns in the intake sheet, without impacting the order they show on the form. The order they show on the form is critical to how the form functions and I don't want to move stuff around in the sheet view if that will impact where they are on the form

Yes, I’m a big user of Forms. Can confirm you are fine to reconfigure the sheet without affecting order of fields in the form.

I don't use forms often, but from playing around with them I believe they are tied to column names, not location. So, it should be fine.

When in doubt though, test - make a copy of the relevant files and workspace and see what happens when you edit it. Always best to make major changes in something you can just delete BEFORE making them in something that truly matters.
