How to sort an Option Set in alphabetical order on the form display?

Posted on by 73

Hi there,

I have created an Option Set with values from an excel file. These were not sorted in the excel file and hence have been entered into D365 as-is.

When the option set values are displayed on the form, they are not alphabetically sorted and are all over the place. I cannot find any setting to sort this list and am looking at the last resort to delete the whole list and enter them again from a sorted excel file.

Is there a way to get the sorting mechanism achieved in the current state?

Kind Regards,

Dominic.

    Perfect. Thanks Emily.

    I'm in the new configuration interface and switching between the classic and new is causing nightmares.
