Hi team,

 

As per my attachment, what is meant by the order field?  

 

I've read some comments here, and everyone mentioned that order is used to mention the position/ precedence of the variable (like an index of the item in an array data type in programming languages)  in a variable set. Still, I do not understand clearly how the order field works in forms

 

Can anyone please clarify this with clear terms?

 

Thanks.

The order field in ServiceNow defines the sequence or position of records, tasks, or items in lists, workflows, or catalog items, helping to control their display or execution order.

 

Starting with 100 allows room for flexibility when adding new records or adjusting the order later. If you start from 1, you must reassign order numbers to insert an item between two existing records. Using intervals like 100 (or any other large number) allows for easier insertion of new items without disrupting the existing sequence.
