Hi,

My understanding of this is that you can apply the system wide custom sort
order to data elements in a data set section.

In user settings you can set the sort order to be custom and then go to
Maintenance>Data Elements and sort the elements in the full list there.

Then the data elements in the data set section (or data set) will be sorted
according to their global sort order when listed in a default data entry
form.

My only concern with this is that the sort order is a user setting and not a
system setting so different users doing data entry might experience
different sort order, which may not be desired in data entry forms.
