Re-order custom fields

[Faisal]

I have added new custom field named 'Module' and I wish to reorder it.

I do not know whether it is possible or not. Please help me out on this!

There is a field "Sequence: " in section "Link custom field to project " on the page where you edit settings of a custom field.

yes @atrol. Thanks for your reply.

But when updating sequence field with some digit, it resets to 0 always.

Mighte be a bit confusing:
There is a list under "Linked Projects:" where I see the value that I entered before.
The input field itself resets to 0. This is the desired behavior.

Please see the screenshots attached:

In CF.png - there are two fields added custom and I wish to reorder to top

In Up.png - See the fields populated in Report Issue page

Can we rearrange to get the position on top of 'Additional Information' field?

Referring CF.png, positioning of custom fields Type & Category - scope is between built in fields Additional Information and Upload File.

Can I do this by adjusting sequence number or can we do it in any another way?

Is is mandatory to edit the php page of bug_report_page.php for reordering?

Any thoughts....to resolve?

There is no way to get what you want just by configuration options.
You could tweak the code like other users did https://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=11385
or you could do it in a cleaner way by writing a Mantis plugin that uses JavaScript to change the page.
