Below is a partial image of a naturalization record that I was indexing. (There are a variety of formats in that record group, each with a different sequence of information.) On the left is the place to record the transcribed information from the document but the information on the document is in a different order.
I was thrilled to learn that by clicking and holding the mouse on one of the entry boxes, I could drag it up or down, placing it where it was in sequence with the document to type in the information.
Maybe even better is that if you index many of the same documents over a period of days or longer, that sequence will remain in place each time you return. And if the next time you index, the record is a different record or has a different format, you can rearrange the boxes again.
I hope that help make indexing easier for you!
