3 years ago1Password for Mac 8.8.0 unable to move fields around
Wow. I don't know who thought this was a good idea to remove the ability to move fields around in v8 but... This is a HUGE necessity... Please add that capability back into the app.

i totally agree to joel...
Please reimplement it very soon. Miss it. - Anonymous
Yeah, i'm still hoping it will be introduced soon. Seems like something quite strange to leave out the mainstream release of V8. I'd imagine it's quite an important part of the program for a lot of people. I'm still using V7 because of this and hoping V7 support isn't stopped until V8 introduces this feature. I have a Linux / Ubuntu PC as well, but V7 isn't supported at all any longer on Ubuntu so I have to use the web version when using that PC. Which isn't great :(

Thanks Ben!
I'm also in the same situation as @joel_wraight with 938 items stored in 1Password.
I therefore look forward to the reintroduction of the possibility of re-ordering fields and sections in a personalized way. - 1P_PeterG

Hi finbarroconnor, thanks for this question.
The ability to rearrange fields isn't currently present in 1Password 8 - however it should be making a return, due to customer demand.
One of our founders, Dave Teare, spoke to this in a forum discussion in early May of this year:
The latest release does not have support for reordering fields. This is something we're actively exploring and I expect will be added in the not-to-distant future. While a lot of work remains, I wanted to share that the design team has designed how this feature will look and feel and the dev team has gotten things far enough along that I was able to see a video of it in action. Again, I need to stress a lot of work remains and this will not be included in the immediate future, but I wanted to share that it has bubbled up on our priority list.
As for "why", reordering of fields was something we deliberately left out of 1Password 8 during the design process as we were hoping to simplify things. I was hopeful that we could win with a "less is more" approach but I found myself missing this feature as much as you are. I'm happy that we tried and I'm happy that we changed our minds. Live and learn. 🙏
I hope that answers your question. We recognize that this is something that folks find useful, it's a highly requested feature, and it's coming. We appreciate hearing from you!

Gotcha for sure! Thanks. The Mac version is just getting started. There is more to come. :)

Please add my vote too ! The last comment from @spadger1066 made me wonder something. I thought that one big advantage of rewriting your apps using the same 1password core code, was features parity ? So why the Windows app can do things the Mac app can't (yet)?

If anyone also has the Windows version as well, you can reorder them there and it will then sync back to your Mac.
