Item classification for a drop-down menu in a dialog box

Hi,

When I create a drop-down menu in a dialog box (list of the fields for example), the items are classified in the unicode character order.

Is it possible to sort them in a customized order or indicate the position of the items?

thanks in advance.

No. If you want them sorted in another way you can do so by adding "1.", "2.", etc. before them.

Well actually, there is an undocument function for inserting items into a list. Items are added to the end of the list.

dialog.insertEntryInList({"item_id":{lst}});

where "lst" is the normal object used to initialize a list. It can be one item.
