Hello,

I pass the following string as editoptions "value" :

"'2':'aaa','1':'bbb','4':'ccc'".

I expect the produced html "select" to have 3 options in the order I gave the values : "aaa" text with value 2, then "bbb" text with value 1, then "ccc" text with value 4.

However, options are sorted on values when rendered, thus displaying "bbb" then "aaa" then "ccc".

Do I have to implement a custom edit type to achieve my presentation ?

Or I will change passed values in this case, passing "1... 2... 3..." rather than "2... 1... 4...".

Thank you for explaination.

Barbara

Answering to myself : I got it when I realized editoptions value was written as a dictionary rather than an array. So this means unordered and it's logical there is values sorting then.

I will modify my data and prefix my values so than natural order fits my needs.

Question to developers : why not pass values as an array rather than a dictionary json to display in dropdown list ?

Hello,

The list can be object, but in this case you will get the same order since of JavaScrip.
