Sorting choice list alphabetically

Hello All,

We need to display the choices in Alphabetical order. Currently it is displayed as : 

find_real_file.png

The sequence defined for these choices are based on the alphabetical order. How the same sequence can be displayed on the form?

Hi Shoheb,

Can you make an update to one of the choices and then change it back?

Choice list fields are sorted by the value of the field, not by the label for the field

The sequence is used to display the order in the Choice field, not used for the sorting order

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also mark Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks
