Reordering custom fields?

Is it possible to reorder the custom fields? Like, if I have an extra spot at “Custom field 9 name” but want it to be listed first, could I put the value for “Custom field 1 name” in slot 9 and put the new one in slot 1? Or would that associate the data already associated with slot one’s name with the new name I entered in that slot?

I guess another way of asking this is, is the post data for a custom field tied to the name of the field, or the number?

The post data is tied to the number of the custom field in the database, so you don’t want to start changing the title around as you will get very confused, very quickly!

As Dragondz suggests, you can use the plugin bot_write_tab_customize to move the position of the fields around in the Write tab, including moving them to the middle column and interleaving them with the Title, Body and Excerpt fields.

Re: Reordering custom fields?

Thanks! I had a feeling it was tied to the number, so I didn’t change anything. I’ll look at that plugin if the client wants to move stuff around.
