Reference qualifier descending order

I'm using a "look up selection box" type variable in a catalog item.

I cannot find a way to sort the choices in ascending order.

Is there a way to sort the choices?

I have included the syntax "ORDERBY XXX" in the reference modifier, but it does not sort them.

Hello @araik 

 

var inc = '';
var gr_incident = new GlideRecord('incident');
gr_incident.addEncodedQuery('caller_id='+caller);
gr_incident.orderByDesc('number');
gr_incident.query();


while(gr_incident.next()) {
inc += (',' + gr_incident.sys_id);

}

Hi @araik 

Try following:

in variable attributes: ref_ac_order_by=<orderFieldName>

and

in reference qualifier add=  javascript&colon;'ORDERBY<orderFieldName>'

note: replace <orderFieldName> with correct field value from the referenced table on which sort needs to be added.

If my answer has helped with your question, please mark my answer as accepted solution and give a thumb up.
