How to sort a dropdown list?

[acornejo]

Hi there,

I created a dropdown list with two options, lets say A and B.

I use this dropdown list in a custom module. Under Module Builder//My Custom Package/My Custom Module/View Layouts/ListView I chose that dropdown list to appear in ListView so I could sort my entries based on values A and B.

When I go to my custom module in Sugar that field doesn´t give me the option to sort the entries. I could create a text field and manually imput A or B since data is sortable with text fields.

But I´m just wondering if a dropdown list can be sortable??

Thanks for your time and answers.

The sorting criteria for dropdown list fields is the key of the dropdown list entries. E.G.: if I have a dropdown list with key0>label pairs "1"=>"Label 1", "2"=>"Another Label", "3"=>"My third Label" the sorting order will be "Label", "Another Label" and "My third Label" because "1" < "2" < "3".
