With this function you can reorder fields in several tables or themes. With a mouse click you can adjust the actual field order in the dBASE or INFO file to the spreadsheets in your project. The fields are always displayed in the order in which they occur in the spreadsheet of the project (this is not necessarily the order in which they are stored in the table file, because if you move table fields in ArcView with the mouse, the move is done only virtually in your project, not in the data file itself).

• You must activate the tables or themes, in which you want to reorder fields, before calling the function (click on them with the mouse pointer - keep the Shift key pressed to select multiple tables or themes).
• Common Fields: Shows the fields that appear several times (fields with the same name in the same or in different tables). Click on a field to select or drop the corresponding fields in All Fields.
• All Fields: Always shows all fields. Select the fields you want to modify. See detailed information at Hints to select fields.
• Move Up : Moves the selected fields one row up (i.e. one column to the left in the file). Keep the Ctrl key pressed to move the fields 5 places up/left and the Shift key to move the fields to the top of the table.
• Move Down : Moves the selected fields one row down (i.e. one column to the right in the file). Keep the Ctrl key pressed to move the fields 5 places down/right and the Shift key to move the fields to the bottom of the table.

  Hint: In order to move some fields several rows down to a certain position, just select these fields and the field in front of which they should be placed - then click on Move Down. The selected fields are grouped into a block ending at the final selected field.
