Drop Down list in web form out of sequence

Good afternoon,

 

I have searched the knowledge base to no avail, so...

 

I created a simple web form with a drop down list containing 3 times: 9:00 am, 9:30 am, and 10:00 am. The column in the sheet with the drop down list is in order. However, when I created the form and previewed it the times were displayed in this order: 10:00 am, 9:00 am and 9:30 am. I sent it to myself to check how it displays "live" and it was still out of sequence. I tried adding zeroes in fron of the nines but that did not work.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Craig

    I just tried to re-create the problem but was unable to do so. Created a new sheet with a dropdown column, three times exactly as you had entered e.g.

     

     

    Then I created a webform with just that column and the entry set to a dropdown. Here's how the preview looked:

     

     

    So I'm a little stumped as to why it might be behaving differently for you. At the very least you can see that it can work? Sorry I can't be of more help. Perhaps I misunderstood what you are trying to achieve?

    I just tested this as well and my times are in order. 

     

    Are you still having trouble with this? 

  • Thanks Peter and Travis,

     

    Weird but iI could not get it to show in sequence so I deleted the form and re-created it and wouldn't you know...it works fine now.
