Hallo,

I use several drop-down selection extra fields. I would like to know how to sort them alphabetically because I would like to add new ones.

To write them from beginning is not a solution because of the number of them and most important there are published K2 items and if I change the names then the extra field values will break.

Thank you

Hi Fotis,

yes sure it would be an option. Another option that i found is to change the order inside the k2_exta_fields table for he specific values I want. So no hack is required.

Yes of course when it is selected it is indeed static. But I have about 40 options in the drop down that I display to user to choose between them :) So there I have to order them alphabetically.

In extra fields manager I could add an option in the end and transfer with the hand all the values to that direction but it is not working, because for the items that already a value has been assigned will break :)

So the most convienient way without not hacking the core is to add options in the end and then in the table of k2_extra_field to put to the right order

Thank you very much Fotis!

Looking forward of v3

 That would be very convenient Fotis

Thank you again!

If you like to have a look, MEFG for K2 already has this feature.
