Wasn’t there a native feature where: you could drag the order of fields in a Field group, and then on the entry itself, it would adjust the appearance of that field ? (w/o using a channel layout)

Do you mean, go to a field group, you can drag n drop fields into any order there?

yeah - I had some memory where such re-ordering would also affect how it’s shown in the Edit entry. @tomjaeger truth?

yep and yep. Note the ‘Mobile Only’ doesn’t replace ‘Display title’ in the ordering. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mzo1pn8wnfj17ihgmf5bl/2025-11-20_16-09-41.mp4?rlkey=oc5ytsb98uzdph8aptr7509tp&dl=0

Delete the channel layout and it’ll follow the field group order
