I want to customise the base.view_partner_form in Odoo 8 by re-ordering some of the fields. For example I want to move the "function" field so it sits immediately after the "title" field. However the field position isn't changing. Any help appreciated.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openerp>
     <data>

        <record id="view_partner_form" model="ir.ui.view">
            <field name="name">res.partner.form</field>
            <field name="model">res.partner</field>
            <field name="type">form</field>
            <field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_partner_form" />
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
                    <field name="title" position="after" />
                         <field name="function" />
            </field>
        </record>

    </data>
</openerp>

I managed to discover the answer. I had accidentally closed the XML when defining "after". Here is a working version. Now I just need to work out how to modify the ordering of fields in res.partner which have been inherited from another module...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openerp>
     <data>

        <record id="view_partner_form" model="ir.ui.view">
            <field name="name">res.partner.form</field>
            <field name="model">res.partner</field>
            <field name="type">form</field>
            <field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_partner_form" />
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
                    <field name="title" position="replace" />
                    <field name="function" position="before">
                       <field name="title" />
                    </field>
            </field>
        </record>

    </data>
</openerp>

I think you don't need the line . That is not needed because you replace the title field with title field.
