I'm adding some fields to the rainlab user plugin and these are in their own tab. Is there a way to override the order of the tabs. Ideally I need to show these fields in their own tab first (ie before the Contact Details) tab.

Cheers,

Adam

You can do it like this in Controller::extend

    $fields = $form->getTabs()->primary->fields;
    $order_tabs_by_this_arr = ['your_tab_name_or_lang_code', 'tab_second'];

    $form->getTabs()->primary->fields = array_merge(array_flip($order_tabs_by_this_arr),
        $fields
    );

Good heck. you solution works great for normal form fields but not working for repeater widget field.

@phplee, just replace $form by $widget :
<code> Event::listen('backend.form.extendFields', function($widget) { $fields = $widget->getTabs()->primary->fields; $order_tabs_by_this_arr = ['your_tab_name_or_lang_code', 'tab_second']; $widget->getTabs()->primary->fields = array_merge(array_flip($order_tabs_by_this_arr), $fields); }); </code> and thanks to @vdomah :)
