Can I provide custom order(alphabetical) to the fields? about formbuilder HOT 6 OPEN

https://formbuilder.online/docs/formBuilder/promise/

$('#selector).formBuilder(config).promise.then(formBuilder => {
    //Controls are rendered and you can now sort them
});

from formbuilder.

Dynamic fields are essentially pre-configured versions of their base type, once they are on the stage they are identical to their base type. They are internally keyed as -dddd where dddd is a 4 digit number. When orderFields(controls) processes the controls, these fields are inserted into the sort place of their base. For example a select field will be select-1234 and it will be sorted to the position one after select.

If you are using custom controls which have a fixed name, then these can be sorted.

As this is a fairly unique configuration, your best option would be to hook into the resolved formBuilder promise and sort the control li's in the way you want them to be sorted.

@lucasnetau I request you to please share an example or a demonstration which shows how can I access the promise of the formBuilder if possible.

I understood the direction of your thought but I cannot find a way to access the promise you suggested.

Thanks for the update! I will get back to you as soon as I implement this.

Hey @lucasnetau
I tried implementing your suggested solution but I am afraid I could not achieve the goal. I also tried the exact implementation as in the promise's documentation in your site but still that does not work.

const formBuilder = $(fb.current).formBuilder({ fields, ...options() });

      try {
        console.log('formBuilder.formData: 101', formBuilder.formData);
      } catch (err) {
        console.warn('formData not available yet.101');
        console.error('Error: 101', err);
      }

      formBuilder.promise.then(function (fb) {
        console.log('fb.formData: 101', fb);
      });

Now here is the implementation and the logs I kept for debugging. I could not find any method by which I could sort the fields. Also I tried putting fields and options differently using different promises but it did not work as expected.

When I put the formData in the promise all the fields renders in the drop-area and I think it's completely normal behaviour and so I understand that formData is not something I need to touch. So I pass the fields as fields parameter only.
