Index / sort order - alphabetical - numerical - set your own order

Idea / wish for index / sort order for e.g. CVLs:
Would it be possible to implement the rule (or give the option to use):

If index is not set (or all set to 0) then the sort order would be
A) alphabetical - looking at values or B) numerical - looking at keys?
Sometimes this makes more sense or simply makes it faster to find what you are looking for.

Also ideally adding more/ new entries to the index at later stage could more easily fall into this rule set without current export-modify-import activity being needed.

So really we would have 3 options when it come to indexes:

  • Sort alphabetical

  • Sort numerical

  • User defined sort order

I believe this would cover more needs and preferences and give less export-modify-import activities.

    We have got over 2000 fields in our system, managing the indexes is really time consuming now. An export and import possibility to re-organize the indexes would be really helpful.

    In my opinion, this is a must-have. We have many CVL's that are created in automated manners and we can build the extension that does this to re-sort as needed. However many times the customer is adding these values.

    Currently, the sort order seems to be based on the creation order thus database ID vs the logical sort which would be based on value.

    It seems when index is set the same for all CVLs there is an internal sort index instead of using alpha on the Key or Value as I would expect.
