Hi,

Note that there is a planned revamp of the whole forms/dataset model quite
soon and this blueprint for 2.0.5 covers at least improved functionality in
terms of defining the layout of default forms, incl. sort order:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dhis2/+spec/improved-forms

The goal is to be able to use the default tabular forms as much as possible,
since that will save us all a lot of time.
These default tabular forms should be (as it they are today) generated off a
data set with data elements and one or more category combos,  but we need to
provide the form designers with more options in terms of disabling certain
fields, sort order of data elements, pivoting of the table (option to have
data elements on columns and categories on rows).

The idea is to use custom forms (which take a lot more time to design) only
when its not possible to generate the form off the data set and some
additional (and not too complicated) layout choices.
Most tabular forms should be possible to auto generate.

Feel free to add to the blueprint.
