    Multi selected combo box


    I have multi select combo box on my Form. I select(click check box) the items I want. The values selected are listed in alphabetical order. I do not want the values selected in alphabetical order. I manually listed the values in the row source (June2015_week_1;June2015_week_2;August2016_week_1 ) . Row source type = value list. Right now when I select June2015_week_1 and August2016_week_1. It shows my selection as August2016_week_1(first), June2015_week_1(second). I want my selections to be in the same order as I put them in my row source. Is that possible? thanks in advance

    I don't think so. You would have to save numeric value.

    Multi-value fields are generally avoided by experienced developers. I NEVER use them.

    Hi,

    have you tried to put the values in a table that contains an extra numerical sort field you can use to determine the sorting order yourself? This would make it easier afterwards if you need to add extra values to the list.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
