I am using jqGrid  4.2.0 &  I have a major issue now arising.

As per my example below. The text of my column before I select the row is 101.

When I click on the row it becomes editable and the column becomes a dropdown list as expected.

However the dropdown list then automatically defaults to ABC! This is a disaster for me.

<option value="" role="option">Please select..</option>
<option value="1" role="option">101</option>
<option value="2" role="option">102</option>
<option value="101" role="option">ABC</option>

Obviously, that is default selecting the wrong value. its getting confused because the Key Option for ABC is actually 101 which is the same as my text value for another option.

Anyone got any insight on the best and quickest way i can solve this throughout my app?

Thanks in advance.
