Every field on the donation form editor, what it does, and where it shows up on the donor-facing page.
The form editor at Engage -> Forms -> New form has more knobs than the tutorial covers. This is the full reference.

What the donor sees vs. what you set
The order on the donate page is fixed; you can't reorder it from the form editor. Donors see the title and description, then the recurring toggle (if Allow recurring is on) and the amount picker (with an "Other" box if Allow custom is on). Below that, the form leads with the express wallet buttons - Apple Pay or Google Pay - when the donor's device offers one; tapping a wallet completes the donation without typing anything else. The donor details (name, email, phone, address per your visibility settings), card fields, disclaimer text, and Pay button sit behind a "Pay by card instead" link in that case, and show directly when no wallet is available. The address starts as a single search field and expands to the full set of fields once the donor picks a result.
The logo at the top of the page comes from Settings -> Branding, not the form itself. Same for the privacy policy link beneath the form.
