While in 1Password 7 we talked about the possibility to sort the sections of an item (see https://1password.community/discussion/114351/is-it-possible-to-change-the-order-of-the-sections) I realized that in 1Password 8 you even removed the option of changing the order of the single fields within a section! 😱 Please tell me that this is only a bug and will be fixed in one of the upcoming releases. For me it’s really important to be able to at least move fields within a section. Luckily, in the current iOS app it’s still possible. But please bring it back to the Mac desktop application as well. 1Password Version: 8 Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: Not Provided

I have the same problem. I have tried desperately to sort or move custom fields in the order. Will this functionality come back?

Hi @mischnu and @electricarts, thanks for this question. I'm happy to help! Our founder dteare was actually just discussing this re-ordering fields question over in the Desktop Betas forum. Here's the quote in its entirety: 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 this provides some insight on where we're coming from. We also really appreciate you letting us know that this is a feature you found useful. We take the feedback seriously, and I have added votes for a re-order fields feature on (both) your behalf. ref: IDEA-I-372 We'll keep the updates coming and hope that improvements to come will delight you. 😃

That's a very interesting statement from dteare since less is more is when you're telling an employee to do more work with less resources or trying to help a hoarder. It should also be when you have bugs in a program that need to be removed or repaired. Never for features in am application that is used everyday multiple times by thousands of customers who rely on their workflow to get things done. Steven

Thanks, @love2kruz. We're certainly taking the feedback into account! We do want to make sure that you have a streamlined experience, but we're also committed to doing that the right way. We'll keep iterating and working to outperform your expectations. 👍

PeterG_1P, I appreciate all the work you folks have put into a great product. I recommend 1PW all the time to my friends who can't either remember their passwords or use password for their password. I've been using 1pw since version 3 and have enjoyed all the increased functionality over the years. There are always glitches with a new release, but the reduction of some functions and the difficulty I'm having with this release just disappoints me. Here's an example, in version 7 if I unlocked 1pw and kept working on my computer, key stroking, 1pw would remain open within my time constraints and be ready when I needed it either in an app or browser. Now having 1pw app running and open and having to log into the browser extension is inconvenient and having it lock once I left the tab/window is disruptive. Furthermore, accessing the menu icon (top right corner) to open settings (normally would use Preferences) and turn off auto lock in each browser is really #$&*ty. The sad thing is, turning off auto lock in Safari doesn't work. To add insult to injury, using the menu icon used to work for desktop apps like Zoom, now there is no icon and the Pin to Screen function is gone unless you're working in the desktop app itself. I could go on, but not going to. I think I've made my point and if not, send me a private email. Steven

Hi Dave, when creating new objects, I use the "Add more fields" function very often. Many times, however, I notice during the filling that a different order of the new fields would be much more useful and would also be much more coherent in terms of content.
Unfortunately, it is then too late because in this 1PWVersion I can no longer rearrange the individual fields. I have to delete all fields before to insert the desired new one, which is mega inconvenient.
Or I have to live with the fact that the map is extremely disorganized if I leave it that way. Daily I am annoyed about it, because it was previously so wonderfully helpful the own structuring.

Thank you for the feedback! Can you clarify a little further about how you were using this feature when filling a new password? I'd love to pass along your use case to the team. 🙂

Adding my vote too!
I loved this feature every time (!) when I fill in a new password.
I need this option really a lot!

Finally got around to looking up how to manually sort my fields in 1Password8 like I was able to do up to 1Password7 for as far back as I can remember. PLEASE put back this feature I used almost every day! Please!

+1 from me, and I also miss the possibility to change the type of field afterwards.

+1 as well. I was about to start a new topic but I'm glad I found this. Sorting is sorely missed.

I completely agree with Homer.
