I'm trying to add a new attribute set and I have this data:



$data = [
'attribute_set_name' => 'Sample attribute set',
'entity_type_id' => $entityTypeId,
'sort_order' => 200,
];


Could someone explain what the sort_order means here? I just started to learn Magento 2, so it's a little confusing.

          Basically this sort_order is a field where you put a number in order to sort the object or xml fields.



          You can define ascendent or descendent but most of the places I've seen are ascendent.



          EDITED:



          These are 4 fields that we created with the layout. Have a look at the code and see one of the parameters is sort_order.



          enter image description here



           <group id="customer">

          <field id="permission_info" translate="label" type="select" sortOrder="100"
          showInDefault="1" showInWebsite="1" showInStore="1">
          <label>Allow edit customer data</label>
          <source_model>MagentoConfigModelConfigSourceYesno</source_model>
          </field>

          <field id="permission_freetext" translate="label" type="select" sortOrder="110"
          showInDefault="1" showInWebsite="1" showInStore="1">
          <label>Show free text field</label>
          <source_model>MagentoConfigModelConfigSourceYesno</source_model>
          </field>

          <field id="permission_payment" translate="label" type="select" sortOrder="120"
          showInDefault="1" showInWebsite="1" showInStore="1">
          <label>Allow edit condition and payment method</label>
          <source_model>MagentoConfigModelConfigSourceYesno</source_model>
          </field>

          <field id="permission_bank" translate="label" type="select" sortOrder="130"
          showInDefault="1" showInWebsite="1" showInStore="1">
          <label>Allow edit bank data and payment days</label>
          <source_model>MagentoConfigModelConfigSourceYesno</source_model>
          </field>

          </group>


          If I change the values of the field with the id="permission_bank" and I put in the sort_order parameter a value between 101 and 109, this field will go between Allow edit customer data and Show free text field:



          enter image description here



          It's just a tool to sort.

          sort_order is added to tell the system where you want to display the field in the form.

          Higher the sort_order lower it will be displayed in the form.
