Sorting of Selection Values in Custom Fields (CustomFields)

Can a specific sorting order be defined for custom fields?

Custom fields (CustomFields) can generally be configured in the system as drop-down fields via customization. By default, the selection values are sorted alphabetically.

If a custom sorting order is required, the Can Do administrator must adjust the following setting. This involves specifying the system-internal ID of the field, along with the values and their desired order (separated by "~"):

In webService.properties

ListCustomFieldDefId=4711
ListCustomFieldSortingFor4711=FirstValueInList~SecondValueInList~ThirdValueInList
