Alphabetizing Value Lists

[Jarvis]

Is there a way to sort value lists after they have been made?

I would like to have them re-arranged alphabetically each time I add to the list.

Thanks for any help.

They already are.

What I meant to say was: Is there a way to sort the contents of a value list alphabetically.

I have a lengthy list of vendor types.

When I call up the filed CATEGORY this valuelist shows up.

This list is not, however, alphabetized.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Jarvis

If Category is text, it should be alphabetized already. Is your valuelist based on the Category field?

Hi Jarvis,

If the value list is typed in, it will stay in the order as typed. You need to copy the list and take into a text editor and sort it, and then repaste it in your value list.

If the source of the value list is coming from [color:"red"] records in either the same file or another file the list will be sorted. If the values are ones typed into the custom box when you defined the value list they will be in the order that you entered them.

How do you copy a typed in value list to get it to a text editor to sort it??

Open the Value List Editor, to to th list in question, Edit, go into the box where the list resides, Select All, Copy paste it into a text editor, sort it, Select all, copy it and go bact to the Value List, select all and paste.
