I would like to have the ability to sort all of the options/values in a Single Select field. Then I could more quickly spot the one I want to select.

Hi @Chuck_Hoffman

When you click on the arrow right to the field name, and select Customize Field Type, you see an Alphabetize funcion in the dialogue box. Because it is so obvious I just want to make sure if this is what you’re looking for.

In addition to what @Andre_Zijlstra mentions, you can manually order the options in a single-select field by dragging them (use the six-dot icon to the left of the option text as the ‘handle’ for dragging).

Hi,
A) I too have the same request-- to alphabetize my options within a multiple drop-down field. I can find no “alphabetize” setting. Has this feature been removed?
B) also would be great to sort multiple drop down options by date (earliest to latest) or by value (lowest-highest). When building large option sets these do not always get entered in order.
Thanks.

The alphabetize option only appears when you are using the program on a computer via the web, not on the iPhone or iPad versions.
