Hi Guys,

Is it possible to alphabetically sort the drop down list? or is it even done already?

I have ..

	if ($member = DataObject::get('Member')) {
		$member = $member->map('ID', 'getName', '(Select one)');		
		$ListOfMembers = new DropdownField('User', 'Member: ', $member);
		$ListOfMembers->setEmptyString('Select user');				
		$fields->push($ListOfMembers);
	}

I don't think the drop down list is being sorted, so can i actually put a sort in there somewhere?

Thanks
Grant

You just need to aply a sort to your DataObject::get(); I also notices you're using the old get pattern

if ($member = Member::get()) {
    $ListOfMember = DropdownField::create( 'User', 'Member:', $member->sort('Surname', 'ASC')->map('ID', 'getName') )->setEmptyString('Select user');
    $fields->push($ListOfMembers);
}

Using the SS3+ patterns you can chain a bunch of functions, and in the case of the member list you're not overwriting the object with an array so you can you can reuse it.

Thanks Zenmonkey! works a treat. most helpful!
