Explain the problem as you see it
When you extend a supertag, the fields from the inherited supertag are placed above the fields you introduce in the child class.
Why is this a problem for you?
This is a problem because I have specific fields that I would like to always be on the bottom of the child supertag, but now that field is somewhere in the middle, depending on how many fields are introduced by the child supertag.
Suggest a solution
Provide the ability to organize all fields on a supertag as you wish instead of the hierarchical approach.

This would greatly cleanup a lot of my use cases.
A prime example is my #book tag which extends #source. Book adds some additional "metadata" fields that I would like sorted above some extra plain nodes in #source.
Here's my post going into detail in the community: https://tanacommunity.slack.com/archives/C02DAJLUJBV/p1688402026095329
Yes!!!
And also, more easily see which fields are from which supertag if I need to change them. It’s otherwise comfusing when supertags have been extended a few levels ”down”.
whilst we are on the topic, can we also change the display properties of inherited fields? in lower level tags I might want to always see them as they are relevant there, but at higher levels I would be quite happy to hide them. especially as I need to use fields up and down my stack to allow better searches of child and parent nodes (until Tana gets that natively)
Bumping because this is really annoying with some of my supertag setups.
