>Add it on the server?:

var xxx = _itemTreeAdapter.GetAll().Select(it=> new {id = it.NodeId, Descrip = it.Descrip}).OrderBy(it=>it.Descrip);
>var itemTrees = xxx.ToList();
>itemTrees.Insert(0, new { id = 0, Descrip = "Select Item Tree... " });

or in JavaScript:

metaDate.itemTrees.unshift({ id: 0, Descrip: 'Select Item Tree...' });

Hi Viv,

Thanks a lot, I'll try that. For some reason similar, but more complex code (as I read that unshift doesn't work in IE8) didn't work in JavaScript. The item was added OK, but it was not shown and I can not figure why.
