Hi,

In the wdDoModifyView you could sort the nodes of the context node the DropdownByIndex element is bound to.

e.g.:

wdContext.nodeSelectPhase_Input().nodeOutput_phase().nodeZ_Crmc_Phase().sortElements(aComparator);

You also need to provide a Comparator (aComparator) for sorting, you can find examples of this on this forum. Once implemented, it's easy to specify the sort order.

good luck!

A drop-down list is not the way to go if you have to select from, say more than 30 entries. You should use one of the value selectors (EVS, OVS) instead.

iam not get your point

when i am using dropdownbyindex the list is displayed in browserpage it will look like in upwards only not in downwards if i want to look like upwards like that

Can you please exactly describe your use case and which problem you have with the existing drop-down list?

And please do not write in uppercase, it's too difficult to read.

Hello.

Armin was trying to explain you that Drop Down by key or Index is used to display limited number of values 0 to 30 vals. DDI is not for display 1000 entries. I am not sure if a dropdown list in WD can be displayed in the upward direction. So the solution is Extended Value Selector(EVS) or OVS. Try searching for EVS or OVS in NWDS help. you should be able to find examples.

Thanks,

Yasu
