Using the example here as a guide: http://kb.x-cart.com/display/XDD/Adding+new+property+to+a+product

I've added a new field to the category admin screen to add short descriptions.

My code looks like this:

In XLite/Module/Client/ClientCatsShortDescriptions/Model/CategoryTranslation.php

namespace XLite\Module\Client\ClientCatsShortDescriptions\Model;
 
class CategoryTranslation extends \XLite\Model\CategoryTranslation implements \XLite\Base\IDecorator
{
    /**
     * @Column (type="string", length=255)
     */
    protected $shortDescr;
}

In XLite/Module/Client/ClientCatsShortDescriptions/View/Model/Category.php

namespace XLite\Module\Client\ClientCatsShortDescriptions\View\Model;
 
class Category extends \XLite\View\Model\Category implements \XLite\Base\IDecorator
{
    public function __construct(array $params = array(), array $sections = array())
    {
        parent::__construct($params, $sections);
 
        $this->schemaDefault += array (
            'shortDescr' => array(
                self::SCHEMA_CLASS    => 'XLite\View\FormField\Textarea\Advanced',
                self::SCHEMA_LABEL    => 'Short Description',
                self::SCHEMA_REQUIRED => false,
                ),
            );
    }
}

in my template listing the categories (cut down for clarity)...

{foreach:getSubcategories(),subcategory}
      {subcategory.name}<br>
      {subcategory.shortdescr:h}
{end:}

So this works very nicely except in admin the form field for entering the short descriptions is at the bottom of the page.

How can I move it to be above the normal description box?

I tried

ALTER TABLE `xc_category_translations` MODIFY `shortDescr` VARCHAR(255) AFTER `name`

in the database but it doesn't have any effect.

I guess it's something to do with the module being called last on the page?
