Check this box to include a required Name field on each record of this type. If you check this box, the Name field appears as the first field on the record and in the record list. If you do not check this box, your records are automatically assigned a number based on the order they are entered.

If this record type is a child record type, check this box to enable editing of the order in which child records display on each parent record. • If you do not check this box, child records display in alphabetical order in both View and Edit modes.  • If you check this box, in View mode, child records still display in alphabetical order. In Edit mode, child records initially display in the order in which they were entered and later, in the order in which you have set them through editing.
