I'm also very interested in this. If you need to add new value in alphabetic order there is now possibility to do this. Maybe someone found a solution for this?

I was looking for a working answer on this one to.
Never find one that really worked.

I started searching for a better way to fix the order of extra fields and found this.

Go to your phpmyadmin or whatever you use for your database. (See image)

1. Click on '????_k2_extra_fields' in the left column.
2. Click one time on the extra field number you want to change in the 'ID' column and start sorting it that way.

Worked out fine for me!

I will add this feature to Multiple Extra Fields for K2 very soon, after the weekend.

The best option is, when entering a new option to the dropdown list, the option automatically sorted alphabetically, or from small to large. Or changing it manually in backend like the extra fields.

I also very much need this capability to re/order values for extra values as lists grow/change. The lack of this capability is an EXTREME limitation on extra fields.

Just checking in, a post over 10 moths ago indicated this capability might be added to K2 shortly after the post, then a couple more posts from others interested in this feature. I too could really benefit from the feature. Any update coming in the near future?

Sorry to re-open this thread, but still nothing new about this since 2012? Any way to reorder extra fields values (or to sort them by alphabetical order) without changing values IDs in database?

Mohamed delivered on his promise to extend this functionality in a plugin www.joomreem.com/multiple-extra-fields-groups-mefg-for-k2#.WYMJS9OGOis

In your front-end templates you could do this:

Convert your extra field to a list with:

<?php $extrafieldtolist = explode(',',$this->item->extraFields->MyExtraField->value); ?>
<ul id="sortable-list">
<?php foreach ($extrafieldtolist as $extrafieldtolist): ?>
<li class="<?php echo $extrafieldtolist; ?>"><?php echo $extrafieldtolist; ?></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

and then do some jQuery magic:

<script>
(function( $ ) {
$(function() {
$( "li", "#sortable-list" ).sort(function( a, b ) {
return $( a ).text() > $( b ).text();
}).appendTo( "#sortable-list" );
});
})( jQuery );
</script>
