Is there a way add placeholder text and get rid of the label titles. Also is there a way to re-arrange the order of my fields?

Any news on this? Is this on the Drupal or MailChimp side of things?

I ended up using the embed code supplied from the Mailchimp website instead. I find it's more flexible and you can easily move HTML around and add any placeholders

Here's a patch that adds a placeholder attribute.

I had the configuration for this in a feature, making it easy to add a line in the 'mergefields' array.
Like:
"placeholder" : "First name*",

Hiding the regular label can be done with CSS, e.g. "display: none;" on #block-something label

Looks like helmo handled that..

..and get rid of the label titles?
For the form/entry itself, this is easily accomplished via CSS per the previous comments.

However, if you're talking about removing it from email/notifications, you either hard-code the labels/tokens manually into a email template and use MimeMail, or in my case.. I created an entire new theme just for "Viewing" submissions that outputs the "Submission" as valid XML with massive edits to the field.tpl. I then used the ThemeKey module to have it switch templates when viewing submitted data. This allows us to use submissions to import data into a customized CRM.

Also is there a way to re-arrange the order of my fields?
Under "Manage Display" you can change the output/order, as well as other options on how to output the values.

We're going to be ending support for the 7.x-3.x branch due to the upcoming deprecation of the v2.0 MailChimp API. If you'd still like to do this, please feel free to reopen for the 7.x-4.x branch.

Re rolling the patch on 4.x was trivial :) here it is.

However I also found #2754819: Allow use of HTML5 placeholder attribute which looks like it's solving the same thing ... So leaving this closed until I've had time to review that issue's patch.
