Is it possible to edit the field sort of a linked record opened from the mobile app?

[EricGuy]

I have a fairly niche-type issue that I've not been able to figure out; for context, I've created a check in base optimized for a team of supervisors to check in/out staff using the Airtable mobile app. 

I have 2 tables linked together, where one represents 1 record for every shift (named "All Shifts"), which is linked to a table (named "BA Data") that houses the staff info of whoever is scheduled for a shift. I would like for my Supervisors to be able to open the linked record (aka "BA Data") while looking at the "All Shifts" table and be able to modify a "Current Location" field and a "Lead Notes" field (both are housed in the "BA Data" table). 

The navigation to do so seems to work just fine, but when a user opens the linked record from the mobile app, it appears that the Sort is defaulted to newest to oldest fields, in the order they've been modified; I know this because when I converted the oldest field to "Current Location" in order to bump it up to the top, the oldest field then went straight to the bottom! 

When I changed the field order on the desktop and opened the linked record from "All Shifts", the desired fields show on top just fine, but I can't get it to work on mobile. 

I somehow was able to get Current Location to the Top, but for the life of me I can't get it to work with Lead Notes. So with that context, does anyone know how to manipulate the Sort of a linked record view within the mobile app?

Quick edit: Looks like my work-around of manipulating the oldest fields and converting them into my desired fields was successful to place them at the top from the mobile view; it seems like there was a time delay for the system to register them to go to the top (15-20min give or take). 

Regardless, I would still love if someone knew how to manipulate the field order for future reference!

Hmm, this one's pretty weird.  Just so I'm on the same page:
1. We have two tables, Table A, and Table B, and they're linked
2. In Table B, we have Field 1, Field 2, Field 3

And what we want to happen is:
1. On mobile, the user opens Table A
2. They click a record in Table A, and see that there are multiple linked records to Table B
3. When the user clicks one of the linked records to Table B, we want the display to show the fields in a specific order, perhaps it would be:
  - Field 3
  - Field 2
  - Field 1

Is that right?

If so, I think that it always takes the field order from the first view in Table B, with the exception of the primary field which we can't move

[EricGuy]

You're understanding it correctly, yes. I also had assumed that it would take the field order from the first view created, but that was not the case; even after I changed the field order for all the views in Table B, I still was unable to change the field order as desired. 

The only solution that worked was to convert the 1st 2 fields created in Table B into the fields I wanted at the top, which was difficult because I had a lot of fields and interfaces dependent on those 1st 2 fields.

Hmm, roger that.  I think you may want to open a support ticket about this.  On my iPhone, manipulating the field order of the first view of Table B has a near immediate effect on the field order of the linked records to Table B when viewing it from an open record in Table A

Totally hadn't thought of that, I might need to fix it for iOS because I'm using Android... thanks or the help and I'll submit a ticket!
