The FeatureDataForm defaults to present the fields and their labels using the fieldnames and order in which they appear in the database. Is there a way to override this and change the order of the presentation and the label associated with the field?
Thanks

This is the behavior of FeatureDataForm, it relies on the order of fields as specified in the service. If you wish to change this behavior, you can download source from codeplex http://esrisilverlight.codeplex.com/, you can tweak GenerateFields() method.

Thanks Jenn. Can they be reordered in the service? Or in the dataset before the service is published? Anything short of creating new fields in the propoer order.

I have asked around and it seems there is a bug in feature service where the results does not honor the order of out fields.

For example, this service defines lifecyclestatus before description in the fields. If I request "description, lifecyclestatus", the result respects the order in my query in map service but not in feature service.

Map service:
