4 years agofeature: reorder fields within a section
It looks like 1Password 8 currently does not have the ability to reorder fields within a section. It would be great to have that option.
As a workaround, I am able to reorder fields in iOS.
1Password Version: 8.4.1
Extension Version: 2.1.4
OS Version: Windows 10 Pro 21H1

Hi, I am missing this basic feature too. Reordering of sections and entries in section are necessary.

Hello @vonpadraig and @cbeitel44. 👋 Thank you for this feedback. I can appreciate why being able to re-order fields would be useful for you, and this is indeed something we plan to implement in 1Password 8. While I don't have anything to share regarding a specific timeline at the moment (mostly because we announce features as they're released, not before), I will make sure to pass on your thoughts to the appropriate team.
I have added a vote for this feature on your behalf, @cbeitel44, and we already have one logged for @vonpadraig. Thank you again for your patience, and I'll look forward to sharing updates on this when the time comes!

Hi, I can share all the feedbacks - or on the other recent topics - of everyone here, because I think that this v8 is a beta version, not a production one. I know that you are developing this app for years, but as I can see lots of not so positive feedbacks, I really don't think that it was wise to "force" us to upgrade into the v8. And as I can see here, lots of people want to downgrade to v7 because of v8 issues and missing features. So please, don't do like Microsoft and their very dirty release updates... (private joke, sorry)
And about me, I think I will stay for the moment in this v8 because I hope for a very near update with full of great and missing v7 features. Otherwise, I think I will try some other vaults providers' alternatives like Dash/Last or even Keeper (as they're french team!), and I really hope to be able to claim a refund based on the remaining months if I leave before the next subscription renewal. If so, I hope I will be able to export the entire vaults to import them elsewhere too.
I really really thank you for your involvement and your understanding.

I am VERY surprised that we are still waiting for 1Password developers to put back in features we once had. We have been waiting nearly 8 months. It is highly annoying having to switch between my desktop app and my mobile app to complete my desired tasks. Tasks I could complete in the desktop app.
When will we finally get back the ability to move sections and fields around in the desktop app.... just like we did in the previous version? just like we have in the mobile app?
I don't think any of us are being unreasonable asking for this feature.

I came on here to make this feature request and see it's already here for version 8.x Beneficial to order items the way I need/like to do it on my Mac, not just on my iPhone.
Thanks.

Hi @55208wcgk, thanks for your feedback here. I've added your +1 to our feature request noting that you'd see the ability to reorder fields within an item in 1Password 8.
With regard to your question about moving back to 1Password 7 for Windows, it should be noted that version 7 and 8 cannot be used at the same time. 1Password 8 can be uninstalled from your device and you can download and reinstall 1Password 7 for Windows from that direct link. Version 7 can also be located on our Windows download page, near the bottom under Using an older computer?
Let us know if you have any troubles. Thanks!

Another reason I want to move back to v7. Can someone explain how I can do that - get rid of the v8 I'm running now & reinstalling v7? Thanks

In https://1password.community/discussion/121596/v8-ability-to-reorder-arrange-fields/p1 is more information on this topic with several 1Password members sharing their thoughts on the current situation and future of re-arraing fields. https://1password.community/discussion/comment/639053/#Comment_639053 dteare wrote on May 4th 2022:
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. 🙏
As I haven't seen the thread mentioned here, I thought I share the thread as it gives additional context for those interest and also to offer the possibility to connect with the probably largest thread for this topic (as far as I'm aware of).
