Custom OptionSet order ignored, instance version 9.1.0.6031

Posted on by 31

Hello,

Please be so kind as to read my full post before responding.
Thank you for your consideration.

In two of our Dynamics 365 instances (both online instances, both version 9.1.0.6031), we've encountered an bug:
Customizing the order in option sets does not work.
Apparently custom order, alphabetical order, and the values of option sets are entirely ignored upon saving.
I don't recognize any pattern or logic in the resulting order.

Here is a converted gif from screen grab (Windows + Alt + R) of one such order altering attempt.

  1. Has anyone else encountered this?
  2. Is this a bug or new feature?
  3. Workarounds, solutions?

Thank you,
     Sa Wu.

    In the gif it's not clear what is the other options value . BTW , did you tried with the value with ordering like 1,2,3?  ..so 1 should display first.  Make it simple , you can try with another  optionset with 3 or 4 options , I am pretty much sure my suggestion will work for you . I did test in my trial and it's working fine with the values.

    Thanks for trying to help.

    If you read my description or my screengrab again you will maybe notice that I have tried unsuccessfully to work with values.

    It did not work.

    Hi,

    1. Has anyone else encountered this? 

             Yes me too having same issue seems  this is a bug  , otherwise what is the meaning of arrange icon.

    1. Is this a bug or new feature?

              This should be a bug. I have checked in 8.1 version , order are working fine.

    1. Workarounds, solutions?

    Here is the work around - 

    Try to change the value in the order you need , the option set items will be automatically ordered. For example if you have below option set -

    First Option  -      1111

    Second Option -  1112

    Third Option  -     1113

    If you want to make "Third Option" in the first position you need to change the values less than other values -

    First Option  -      1111

    Second Option -  1112  

    Third Option  -     1110    ( Value should be less than other values)

    Hope this helps.
