That way the data comes down from the database already sorted.</description></item><item><title>How to sort drop-down list box contents</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1477.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 05 Aug 2006 08:02:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:1477</guid><dc:creator>ciredon</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1477.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=1477</wfw:commentRss><description>Hello.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a drop-own list box that gets its list from secondary database (Access). My problem is how can I sort the list being displayed in my InfoPath form?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sorted the Access database based on how I want is to display in the list box yet when I preview the form it is not sorted. By the looks of it the arrangement being displayed is the sequence on how I inputed the values initially in the Acces mdb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there a way to resolve this through rules? If not can you give a sample code to resolve this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you in advance.</description></item></channel></rss>
