I have a value list containing clients. There is an edit option to add new clients as they come in. However, when they appear on the pop up list for entry into a timesheet, they appear in the order they were entered. Is there any way to have them appear alphabetically?

Thanks in advance.

When you create a value list manually (i.e. type it directly into the Value List Edit Box), the sort order is set to how the items are entered. You can copy them out and resort them in a text editor and then paste them back in, but you would be better off changing the list to use a field instead.

For more information about this, check out the Online help when FileMaker is open. Do a search for Value Lists, or Defining a value list for data entry.
