Describe the Bug

Hi,

i've a builder with round about 30 collection. e.g. A, D, H, B, F, Z, M ... (not ordered list)
on the content page, here is the dropdown field with the same order.

is it possible to sort the output? (human readable) maybe by the collection name as a default sort order?
i would say, it make no sense, that the output dropdown has the same order like the collection field inside the setup

Thanks
:)

The dropdown currently should follow the list as it's configured in the DataModel settings. Is that what you're suggesting? Or are you saying it'd be neat if there was an interface option to sort them manually?

But inside the Datamodel, there is no option to do a manually sort. If i have e.g. 10 items inside and add a new "a" collection Item, then the "a" is in on the last position. Or is this wrong and i dont know, how could i do an order? :)

I would say, the second option, (manuel sorting, or alphabetic) inside the Interface would be an option.

Ahh I see what you're saying. It's now ordered by the order in which the collections where selected in the relationship settings, which isn't the most user friendly
