Editor - Dropdown list sorted by id DESC

michaeln

how can I sort a dropdown list in create/update modal ?

                var response = new Editor(db, "users")
                    .Model<JoinModel>()
                    .Field(new Field("users.site")
                        .Options("sites", "id", "name", q => q.Where("name", "('London', 'New York')", "NOT IN", false).Order("id DESC") )
                        .Validator(Validation.DbValues(new ValidationOpts { Empty = false }))
                    )
                    .LeftJoin("sites", "sites.id", "=", "users.site")
                    .Process(request)
                    .Data();

I try .Order("id DESC") but the dropdown list just sort the "name" ascending.

There is some discussion about that in this thread edit corrected link.

The short answer is no, at the moment I'm afraid. The order is defined by the labels, and they are automatically ordered alphabetically in C# / linq.

I'm going to look at an option to make it possible to set a custom order in 1.6.
