Whiles you are designing the View you basically bind the dropdown to the SmartObject, at that time you have no option to set the ordering of the items, however the Init event for that view will contain a rule that will execute the SmartObject, by editing the rule you can specify the ordering and that will determine the order of the items in the dropdown.


Let me know if you have more question regarding this.

Hello!

First of all thank you for your help!

I'm not so good about SmartObject.... at all actually! Where I can find this rule? 

 

Thanks again,

Have a nice day!

So, in designer, in the view where your dropdown box is located, click on Rules in the breadcrumb.  Double click on "When the View executed Initialize" and select configure near "then populate Drop-Down List list control with data".  Select "Sort" on the breadcrumb in this window and you should be able to sort the columns of the drop-down list with whatever field of your choice.


 


Thanks,
