Hi

Ordering custom fields is not possible, No JavaScript errors reported. How can I order them without deleting and recreating again ?

Ordering is possible, but requires that you sort by the Order column.
documentation.joomdonation.com/2-events-...g-custom-fields.html (see section #5)

Then you can use the arrow buttons to move fields around.
Alternately, you can enter new numbers into the boxes and press the SAVE button (the up&down arrow button at the VERY top in the header row). As a note, you'll have to re-do ALL the numbers for best results as a duplicate number usually will prevent the new order from saving (at least for me... I have a bug report in regarding this behavior). Also, don't press ENTER as you enter values, or all will be lost :(. You can try decimal eg 5.5 to get it between existing 5 and 6 (the decimal value will not show, and you'll have two 5's) and then the up-down arrow to renumber everything too, but this sometimes doesn't work right for me either. If you have access to your database and want to slide all existing custom fields down (by adding 100 to all the values in the Order column) so that it's easier to get new entries to the top by simply enter a low number into the order box & clicking save, you can run the following mySQL against your CustomFields table:
Code:
UPDATE `[YOUR-DB-PREFIX]_eb_fields` SET `ordering` = `ordering`+100
where [YOUR-DB-PREFIX] is the prefix on your database tables.
