Overriding Forced-Alpha Sort in Value Lists

[jscooper]

Hi All,

In v7, I was able to get around the forced alpha sort in value lists by defining a second "space" field and sorting by that. In v8, it looks like that no longer works. Take a look at the attached in 7 then in 8.

In 7, the list is sorted in the order the records are entered. In 8, they're alpha sorted.

My goal, of course, is to be able to have a non-sorted dynamic value list with only one field being displayed. Since the sort option is disabled when displaying values only from second field, I can't see another way to do this.

It looks like 8 killed one of my favorite workarounds. Anyone come up with a new/different way to do this in 8?

Thanks,

Jeff
