In Filemaker I was able to set my field names to list alphabetically or in creation order or in custom order.
Is there a way for me to have my field names list alphabetically?

Welcome to the community, @Jenny_Arntzen!
You can sort the fields in alphabetical order by clicking on “Manage Fields” in the toolbar.
Unfortunately, you can not sort the fields in creation order nor a custom order.
As far as I know, I am the world’s only expert at both FileMaker and Airtable. You can learn more about me at my Airtable Consulting website:
Hi Scottworld! Nice to meet a Filemaker + Airtabler!
When I look at Manage Fields I cannot see a button to click for sorting alphabetical - am I missing something? Or am I supposed to do it manually?
Thanks!

Click on the column header.
Click on the column header.
I tried that - I am using the online app - the desktop app scrolling was too annoying. I wonder if it isn’t working in the online version?
Click on the column header.
Oh! I see - the fields sort alphabetically automatically in Manage Fields

Maybe that’s the default, but they actually sort based on whichever column header you click on, and you can choose to sort ascending or descending for each column.
