While in your Jira project, click on Settings (cob wheel) > Issues > Screens, from there look for the screen in question, click on it and you'll land on a page called ISSUES (Configure Screen) in which you can reorder the fields. It just so happens that it's also the spot from where you make the fields visible of not.

How is this different than what I proposed below?

Your response was lacking in detail.

Also, changing the Issue Layout (as you proposed) does not affect the order of fields in the issue create screen.

[John Funk]

The Issue Layout is how the fields are presented to the user. It overrides the order of fields on the Create Screen.

Сan't agree. I've checked in my instance, Issue Layout determines the order of the fields on the Issue View screen, but does not affect the order of the fields on Issue Create screen.

Hi Oleg,

What type of project are you using? Team-managed? Company-managed? Jira Work Management? 

[oleg.buzinov]

Company-managed project in Jira Software.

You should be able to edit the screen and drag the fields up or down. You can also do it in the Issue Layout.
