Is there a way to get the sheet (grid view) column order to match the order of the form

Global Engagement

When building a form we tend to start with some data in the sheet, and then build the form from that. As the form develops we add elements throughout the form.

Unfortunately this then means that the Sheet (grid view) order does not align with the form order. I realise I can move the columns manually. I was wondering whether there was an automated way to do so?

Cheers!

Your question says you can do it manually. Can I ask how you do it manually? Brand new to Smartsheets and I have the same issue that we changed the form and want to reorder the columns in grid view. Thanks!

Hi @Lorie J

You can re-order columns in grid-view by clicking on the column name and dragging it to where you want the column to go! This won't adjust anything in your Form, the fields will stay where they are.

Let me know if this helps.

Cheers,
