Please note I am facing a peculiar issue with the Tracker Capture App on the tablets.
The issue is, the data elements appear in a different order than what I have defined in the programme stage. For example, say I designed a data entry screen in the following order of data elements:
First name
Surname
Date of Birth
Sex
On the web interface (Tracker capture on computer), the order looks fine as defined above. But on the tablets, the Tracker Capture App displays the elements in a different order, something like:
Surname
Date of Birth
First name
Sex.
Since the order appears correctly on the computer, I don’t’ know what to do to make it to appear with the same order on the tablets.
Did you arrange them in the Section part as below:
If not try to arrange them like this and see if it works.
Thank you
Stanley

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have done the ordering in the “section” side. As I have indicated, the order is fine on computers but different in tablets.
Make sure you have sorted the data elements correctly in the “basic” section too - section sort order is not necessarily the same as the basic sort order, and sorting the section part does not simultaneously update the “basic” part.

Yes, normal thinking/logic says that section sorting (possibly even custom sorting) should automatically re-sort the “basic” list too (aka the “sort_order” field in the programstagedataelement table), but it does not. I wrote a JIRA issue for it some time back (DHIS2-4322), and Jose did another one (DHIS2-4528) - they are supposed to have resolved the issue. So you might want to consider upgrading to a newer build (assuming you are using 2.29 or 2.30)
