Reorder Fields in Attribute table using ArcGIS Pro SDK

Teddytedo

Any API in ArcGIS Pro SDK to set the layer attribute field order. Manually Data Design used or Arcpy  also another option. However, I did not see any API in Arcpro SDK. I checked   "SetFieldOrderAsync" but it required the active table view. But I plan to implement the order for many layers after adding the features to the map.

 

Thank you for the advice

I had no success with SetFieldOrderAsync.  I ended up with the same solution as you did.  Something like below:

theCIMBaseLayer = layer.GetDefinition();
theCIMFeatLayer = (CIMFeatureLayer)theCIMBaseLayer;
theFieldDesc = theCIMFeatLayer.FeatureTable.FieldDescriptions;
theFieldList = theFieldDesc.ToList();

int theNum = 1;
theFieldDescNew = new CIMFieldDescription[theFieldDesc.Length];

foreach (CIMFieldDescription item in theFieldList)
{
    if (item.FieldName == "Name")
    {
        theFieldDescNew.SetValue(item, 0);
    }
    else
    {
        theFieldDescNew.SetValue(item, theNum);
    }
    theNum += 1;
}
theCIMFeatLayer.FeatureTable.FieldDescriptions = theFieldDescNew;
layer.SetDefinition(theCIMFeatLayer);
