The fix will be included in the 1.6 release, or if you need it before the final release of 1.6, please send me an email at <a href="mailto:chris@rocketgenius.com">chris@rocketgenius.com</a> and I will get the latest release candidate to you.

Here is a screenshot of what I am seeing. <a href="http://grab.by/b9Ky" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/b9Ky</a><br /> Do you see something different? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/alphabetize-category-drop-down#post-39127 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 14:54:26 +0000 Gustavo 39127@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes, the order of the categories in the select box on preview is the same as the public page.</p> <p>The order of the categories on the wp-admin is alphabetical.</p> <p>I'm using the 1.5.3 version.</p> <p>I'm using Gravity Forms Directory &amp; Addons and Gravity Forms User Registration Add-On </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/alphabetize-category-drop-down#post-38660 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 15:50:13 +0000 Chris Hajer 38660@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I can't reproduce this behaviour. If you preview the form, is the order of the categories in the select box the same as it is on the public page?</p> <p>Also, does this order match the order that the categories appear in in the wp-admin?<br /> <a href="http://buscahectareas.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category" rel="nofollow">http://buscahectareas.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category</a></p> <p>What version of Gravity Forms are you using?

I have a list of countries as categories and they are not in alphabetical order using the category field.</p> <p>This is very important for the purpose of my website so I hope we could receive a solution soon. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/alphabetize-category-drop-down#post-38247 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 20:43:59 +0000 Chris Hajer 38247@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks Jen. Here's what I see:<br /> <a href="http://min.us/mFDFfykde" rel="nofollow">http://min.us/mFDFfykde</a></p> <p>With the drop down, those are post categories in your site? Can you see if they are being returned by some other sort order, maybe by ID or by date created, or most posts, or something? Also, they are hierarchical? With the parents being one of the check boxes from up above?</p> <p>I saw the same thing happen with the Asia category as well. </p>
