In most views, when changing which fields get displayed and how they should be ordered, the “active” fields are usually sorted to the top to make it easier to work with.

However In Board views, for “columns” and “rows”, the “active” fields are not sorted to the top and it makes it very hard to easily find and reorder them.

Wanted to add, this also is an issue on Timeline views for “Lane” fields.

I assume it’s also related to [Empty fields are not being displayed in board views even when "Show empty field values" is on](https://community.fibery.io/t/empty-fields-are-not-being-displayed-in-board-views-even-when-show-empty-field-values-is-on/6222)
