Problem/Motivation

When creating a node, the summary is shown before its associated field. However, the Maxlength settings for a field shows the summary setting after the field. This is a slightly confusing user experience.

Screenshot of Maxlength settings on a text with summary field.

Steps to reproduce

Navigate to the Manage Form Display settings page for a text with summary field.

Proposed resolution

Display the Maxlength settings for a summary before its field Maxlength settings.
