# How to change the order of fields in aiContactSafe forms

In our last aiContactSafe tutorial, we walked you through the steps for [adding new fields to your form](/support/edu/joomla/joomla-2-5/add-new-field/). We noticed that by default however this new field will be the last field in the form. In our example, we’d prefer to have the field in a different position, so what we’ll need to do is rearrange the ordering of the fields. In this aiContactSafe tutorial, we’ll show you how to change the position of fields in your form.

**To rearrange fields in an aiContactSafe form:**

1. Log into your Joomla administration area
2. In the top menu, hover over **Components** » **aiContactSafe**, and then click **Profiles**.
3. Click the name of the form you would like to edit. In our testing, we clicked on **Default form**.
4. At the bottom of the profile’s settings, you will see an area labeled **Fields**. To the right of each field, you will see **green arrows** that point up and down. To move a field higher in the list, click the up arrow (and vice versa). When you’re done changing the order of the fields, click **Save** in the top right menu.[![user-green-arrows-to-rearrange-fields](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/edu_joomla25_aiContactSafe_user-green-arrows-to-rearrange-fields.gif)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/edu_joomla25_aiContactSafe_user-green-arrows-to-rearrange-fields.gif) Before changing the order After rearranging fields [![before-changing-ordering-of-fields](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/edu_joomla25_aiContactSafe_before-changing-ordering-of-fields.gif)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/edu_joomla25_aiContactSafe_before-changing-ordering-of-fields.gif) [![after-changing-ordering-of-fields](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/edu_joomla25_aiContactSafe_after-changing-ordering-of-fields.gif)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/edu_joomla25_aiContactSafe_after-changing-ordering-of-fields.gif)
