It would require hacking core files to do so, which we don't recommend as it makes upgrades problematic. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/sort-order-of-category-dropdown#post-8361 Mon, 09 Aug 2010 16:44:44 +0000 TiborP 8361@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I am trying to find a way to change the way the category dropdown is being sorted in the form display; for example, I would like the sort order to be 'slug' instead of the (default?) 'name'.</p> <p>Is there a way to do this without hacking core files?</p> <p>thx in advance! </p>
