I have a long Drop Down column list of codes using letters in my Main Table, and no matter what order I enter them, at any time, it does list in alphabetical order on refresh which is great. However, when I go the the Form View, the list is in order of when they were entered and therefore not in alphabetical order there. For people filling out the form it would be very useful that they are in order A-Z. Is there any way around this?

Hi @Dayna I ran into the same issue the other day and contacted monday support about it. They said this is the current behavior and would put in a feature request to sort dropdown items in form view alphabetically. But for now dropdown items appear in form view in the order they were created…
unfortunately I haven’t found a good way around this yet either…
Thanks for letting me know Tim! Hopefully this is something that will be implemented in the near future.
I agree with this. It automatically is alphabetizes in the default view, which is great, but translating it to the form would be nice.
+1 on that!
It would be nice if even a status column will be ordered alphabetically in a form view.
Thank you,
Oz.
Has there been an update on this? I’m getting a lot of pushback from my team because the list is long and there is no way to reorder.

not that I’ve heard…hopefully a Monday representative sees this and can update us on the status!
I have a request for this feature as well from my clients.
If you go to the Form and enter into edit mode, you should be able to click into the list of that particular section and rearrange the list by grabbing the double column of 4 dots to the left of the checkbox next to the list option and dragging it to the proper place in the list. I think when something is added into the table, the default is to display the items as they have been added. Hope this helps!
