FAQ: Is it possible to change field order in an attribute table?
Question
Is it possible to change field order in an attribute table?
Answer
It is not possible to change field display order for a table permanently within ArcGIS. Changes made in regards to field order can be saved within a particular Map Document. This behavior is common across the various supported data types.
Note:
When a new field is added to a table in ArcGIS, the field will be appended to the last field on the right hand side of the table.
