Sorting Choice Lists

Web Views can list choices in any order. For example, a non-alphabetic choice order such as Highest, High, Medium, Low, Lowest is more appropriate for a list of relative values than the alphabetic order.

When you create a new choice list, you choose how you want to order the list. The Allow Choice Order Sort check box controls whether a choice list supports non-alphabetic choice orders and sorts.

By default, Vector HelpDesk lists choices in alphabetic order. However, when you allow choice order sorts, you can define the sort order by assigning a numeric ID to each choice. This ID controls the position of the choice in the list (1st, 2nd, and so on).
