Hi Peter.

>> When I drop the list, it is in "input" order and not ordered by the index. Is this because this technically is the 4th file on this form in the DE? Is there a way to get the sort correct for the picklist? <<

With a RowSourceType of fields and the order set in the DE, the list should appear in that order when it is dropped. It does for me. There must be something else going on here.
