Hi,
At V10 there is the facility in ArcMap to re-order the fields for presentation purposes - in the same place you set up field aliases and hide fields you don't want to see (layer properties > fields).
When I publish the MXD as a service and inspect the REST/services information for that layer I can see the alias names, and the fields I unticked don't appear as expected, but the order of the fields I defined does not come through - it has reverted back to the order they appear in the attribute table.
Does anyone know how to set up the attribute field order so that I don't have to handle it programmatically?
Thank you,
Mark.
