I have seen some examples where types come before fields and some where it
is reversed. Some with copyFields separate and some where they seem to be
intermixed.
The order of fields and types was intentionally reversed in newer
examples because they wanted a beginner to readily see the fields when
they look at the example. With the fieldType entries first, the actual
field information can get a little lost. I seem to remember seeing a
message from Yonik about this reversal either on the dev list or in a
Jira issue, but now I can't find it.
I don't think order matters much for the major sections. My addled
brain seems to remember something about copyField directives being
processed in the order they appear, but I could be wrong about that part.
In my own config, copyField entries are at the end. Looking at the
newest 4x example, they are between fields and types.
Thanks,
Shawn
