Given that record.getFields() says this: 
The order of the custom fields returned by this method on a custom record does not respect the configuration of the custom record fields page in the UI.
, does anyone know a way to get the fields on a custom record IN THE ORDER they are on that record (even if possibily they were created in a different order)?
a
you mean the form?
j
no, literally just how the order they are listed on the custom record itself
a
uhh... I have no idea... why would any one want the fields in that completely arbitrary order?
to be clear you mean this listing?
... the order is editable
j
I know they are editable. It’s not arbitrary…. for us
I’m embedded temporary fields in another page, based on the order they appear here.
hard to explain why
a
i remember it
ok so you can load the custom record type
and the custom fields are a sublist, and you can just loop thru it
j
yeah I can get all the fields, they just come out in teh wrong order
a
on the customfield sublist? they're not in order?
j
not a sublist, just doing record.load then getFields to get them all
might not be child record, still deciding that
a
right I'm talking about loading the type of 
customrecordtype
not an instance of your custom record
j
two custom records here. Record A (normal record, but in UI will show set of fields from Record B)
there’s no sublist tho
a
the record that gets return is the same as the record that i took a screen shot of above... the sublist customfields is the Fields sublist
j
there’s no sublist involved
I’m not explaining well
I’m in an arbitrary UE. I want to get fields from some totally unrelated custom record, in the order that they are in that custom record.
a
i think you are, I just think you're not understand me... i'll DM you

Just do what he did in the browser console. And replace 1219 with your custom record id. The record ID not the individual record in it. @Anthony OConnor this was something new for me, you were spot on.
a
honestly new to me too 😉 but jen always has these fun problems that make think... "is this possible?" 😄

Gonna try this in the a.m. and report back 🙂
IT WORKED
A bit fiddly, as I had to actually combine my method and that of @Anthony OConnor (who is my new favourite person, btw). His method to get the fields in the right ORDER, mine to get the field labels.
