Go to line 2260 and you will see these codes :</p> <pre><code>$element_markup = &lt;&lt;&lt;EOT &lt;li id=&quot;li_{$element-&gt;id}&quot; {$li_style} {$li_class}&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;description&quot;&gt;{$element-&gt;title} {$span_required}&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;simple_name_1&quot;&gt; &lt;input id=&quot;element_{$element-&gt;id}_1&quot; name=&quot;element_{$element-&gt;id}_1&quot; {$attr_readonly} type=&quot;text&quot; class=&quot;element text&quot; maxlength=&quot;255&quot; size=&quot;8&quot; value=&quot;{$default_value_1}&quot; /&gt; &lt;label for=&quot;element_{$element-&gt;id}_1&quot;&gt;{$mf_lang[&#39;name_first&#39;]}&lt;/label&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;simple_name_2&quot;&gt; &lt;input id=&quot;element_{$element-&gt;id}_2&quot; name=&quot;element_{$element-&gt;id}_2&quot; {$attr_readonly} type=&quot;text&quot; class=&quot;element text&quot; maxlength=&quot;255&quot; size=&quot;14&quot; value=&quot;{$default_value_2}&quot; /&gt; &lt;label for=&quot;element_{$element-&gt;id}_2&quot;&gt;{$mf_lang[&#39;name_last&#39;]}&lt;/label&gt; &lt;/span&gt;{$guidelines} {$error_message} &lt;/li&gt; EOT;</code></pre> <p>Then you can change the "size" value on those fields. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/re-order-name-fields#post-24257 Sun, 25 Oct 2015 15:34:49 +0000 arimage 24257@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thank you. This re-orders the field on the published form (but not on the edit form panel)<br /> Can you tell me where to change the name field widths please? I found lines around line 362 in view.css which shows first/middle 23% and last 30% but changing here seems to make no difference.</p> <p>Thanks </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/re-order-name-fields#post-24254 Sun, 25 Oct 2015 09:23:12 +0000 yuniar 24254@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>The easiest way, you can edit "includes/language.php" file, search around line 208 for this code:</p> <pre><code>$languages[&#39;name_first&#39;] = &#39;First&#39;; $languages[&#39;name_middle&#39;] = &#39;Middle&#39;; $languages[&#39;name_last&#39;] = &#39;Last&#39;; $languages[&#39;name_title&#39;] = &#39;Title&#39;; $languages[&#39;name_suffix&#39;] = &#39;Suffix&#39;;</code></pre> <p>change it to become:<br /> <pre><code>$languages[&#39;name_first&#39;] = &#39;Last&#39;; $languages[&#39;name_middle&#39;] = &#39;Middle&#39;; $languages[&#39;name_last&#39;] = &#39;First&#39;; $languages[&#39;name_title&#39;] = &#39;Title&#39;; $languages[&#39;name_suffix&#39;] = &#39;Suffix&#39;;</code></pre> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/re-order-name-fields#post-24249 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 15:34:55 +0000 arimage 24249@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Is there any easy way to reverse the name field order - i.e. Last-First instead of First-Last? </p>
