Flex Editor Widget fields alphabetically sorted, ignoring MXD layer field order.

Question

I am working on a Flexviewer sample.  Have Arcgis 10, SQL Server express, SDE database with a single feature class (point layer) that i am editing.  I can add, edit and delete.

I have a published MXD to arcgis server, that has layer, with 4 feature templates based on a sub type of one of the fields.

The flexviewer editor widget seems to ignore the layer field order set in the MXD and use the database fields alphabetically sorted.  I have looked at the response from the REST query and the layer templates fields are not alphabetically sorted.   Also seems to ignore if I turn off or alias fields as well.

Is there any way of changing this without doing a custom editor widget?

I'd like to add a feature request here for Field Order to be honored. I'm facing the same frustration as damianslee and feel that, despite his solution working admirably, we shouldn't have to go through this...

Thanks for the advice. I tried restarting the service and clearing the cache without any luck. I used the work around and it seems to be just fine. Thanks again

What work around are you referring to.  Please post a reference. Thanks
