I was under the impression that the attribute editing popup in Field Maps was determined by the Pop-up configuration. With the new update, the Pop-up is reflecting a configuration set in ArcPro and saved as a web map to AGOL. The Pop-up is honoring the configuration set but the order of the attributes for editing does not. Please see the attached photos displaying the difference.

Attribute Order when editing.
Field Maps honors the order of fields set in the Form.

I haven't been able to test this but if I set the pop-up configuration in Pro prior to saving it as a Web Map, does the pop-up configuration dictate the initial order of the form?
