Hi

I have a browser enalbed form with dropdown list box control bound to a secondary data connection to a sharepoint list. I have two custom columns in the sharepoint list namely Value and Key. The dropdown list box control is bound to a  secondary data connection in such a way that the Value and Description  properties are bound to Value field of secondary data connection.

Now I need  the drop down to shows all values sorted in alphabetical order. By default, it is sorting by ID column of sharepoint list. When I am debugging the form in VSTA it shows the items  sorted, but, once i publish the form it doesnt so that.

Please help me out in resolving this issue.

Thnx in advance

Hello,

Can you give more detail on your code and how you are sorting the dropdown values depends on key or value? This sorting coding in onLoad function or do you have any button click event?

Hi

I m trying to achieve this using secondary data connection rather than thru code.
