Thread: Combo box sorting

Combo box sorting

Hi.

If I create a combo box field, with the values:

B
F
S
T

And then later want to insert a new value M, I would like the combox to be sorted. So the user are shown the values in the right order:

B
F
M <- Inserted
S
T

There is no sorting taking place in combo box fields, so a manual sort is the only way to do it, but I guess that the actual values are saved as integers. So inserting a new value would only cause problems for existing data. Am I right?

What do you do if you have to go back and alter the combo box values after users has created adds with existing values.
