I'm interested in achieving a custom sort order for categories in a form. In four cases, the sort is alphabetical, but in one case, the order is neither alphabetical nor by ID. Because there isn't an easy to to do this, I'd like to know what is the hard way to do this? :)
The form is not visible to non-members, unfortunately.

How do you want to sort the fourth case if not by category ID or alphabetical? Would you be sorting it manually? And if so, can you just pre-populate your checkbox with the categories you want in the order you want them in?

Okay, after looking at the links for 3 days, I can't quite get there.
This code yields a blank checkbox:

And do I need this code?
<?php
add_filter("gform_field_choices", "form_submit_button", 10, 2);
?>Do you have a link to your form? Can you tell me more about what you are trying to do? Also, why do you have $category->name in your field array? And you shouldn't need another hook to get this sorted out. We just need to figure out why your current one isn't working.
The form is here:

In the checkbox Resource Categories, when you click each of the first four checkboxes, another checkbox field with choices I'd like to be alphabetically arranged. But they're not.
The fifth checkbox, Tanakh, I need to set the order of myself; users will expect the list to be in book order.
Can you send me a WordPress admin user/pass to peralty@rocketgenius.com and I'll take a look?
We can try that, but if it isn't the same variables at play, I can't promise that whatever solution I come up with will work for what you are trying to do.
