Hi Vikrant,

        you have to define dat particular field and itz value to remove the option..so i hope oly that field and choice value will be removed.

How do I sort the options though even after removing it?

Hi Vikrant,

Not sure if you have tried this, but is it not possible to take all the values in an array, sort them first and then use addOption to add it in sequence.

I though about it but I am using a glide record and not sure how to get the value for the glide record in an array?

Hi Vikrant,

That shouldnt be a problem, you can declare an array, use the while loop of the glide record and store the values in array. Using a simple example below, replace with your respective field names and gr for gliderecord object.

var arr = [];

var i = 0;

while(gr.next()){

arr[i] = gr.value;

i++;

}

you can use arr.sort(); statement to sort in alphabetical order if this solves your problem.
