Request for feature to change element positions in Composer

Currently, the positions of elements such as Author, Headline, and Primary Website are fixed for all users in Composer. However, it would be beneficial to add a feature that allows users to freely change the positions of these elements according to their needs.

For example, users could place the author input field at the top or arrange the title to be entered at the top. Currently, the admin can add or remove elements displayed in Composer, but cannot change their positions.

If it is difficult to allow each user to individually change the element positions, we would appreciate it if you could add a feature that allows the admin to change them in bulk.

    Got it Thanks! Then is it right that it isn't possible to put Author selection above primary website?

    Hi there! Admins can actually change the order of elements in Planning and Metadata tabs via Composer Settings. You just need to click and drag the field you want to order and place it above or below. The only fixed option that cannot be reordered is Circulations and will always appear at the top of the Planning tab. Attached is a video of what this looks like! Please let us know if this does not solve the problem you're describing!
