I have an editable linked field in a record detail. How can I set the display order when selecting the record to link to?

You’ll want to create a view in your destination table that is sorted the way you want it.

From there, you have two options:

1. Move that view to the very top of the view list. This will apply that sort to any linked record linking to that table.

2. Open your link field settings and choose “limit record selection to a view” and choose the view you created.

They really should have an option to sort it in the interface but it does’t look like an option yet.

Totally agree.
