Fields ordering doesn't work in the list view

[heaven]

Regarding to this statement: "If you specifically declare fields, only defined fields will be visible and they will be presented in the order defined". Currently fields are ordered in some strange way and also all fields are included, not only those I've specified.
Last problem could be resolved by using exclude_fields but still can't find a way how to set up fields order.

list do
  field :id do
  end
  field :jid do
  end
  field :progress do
  end
  exclude_fields :target, :response
end

Ordering was: Jid, Progress, Id
I have also tried this way:

list do
  field :id
  include_all_fields
  exclude_fields :target, :response
end

But got next order: Progress, Jid, Id

Do you order them outside of a section scope?
If you do, use configure instead of field.

I need to document this a bit more.

Hi, sorry, I am not understanding what a section do you mean. This is how I using it:

config.model DelayedJob do
  weight -1

  list do
    sort_by :progress
    field :id
    field :jid
    field :progress
    exclude_fields :target, :response
  end
end

Sorry, closed mechanically.

Can you post your whole config? You must be using some field statements outside of a section (list/edit/..) scope or even outside a model scope. Otherwise it would be really weird.

Hi, sure:

  config.excluded_models << []

  config.label_methods << :to_label # Default is [:name, :title]

Wao, nice initializer :D

Yep, just what I thought, the culprit should be:

  config.models do
    list do
      exclude_fields :id
    end
  end

Exclude_field is not excluding :id here... because there is nothing added yet. Instead it's adding ALL other fields except :id!

This should be fixed before release because this really is counter-intuitive!

Meanwhile, you can put this block at the very end, or just hide them with visible false

Both will do.
