Tell us what you are trying to do?

The dropdown to connect many-to-many CPT relationships shows the CPTs in random order.

1. Is there a way to sort/alphabetize this list?
2. Is there a way to use custom placeholder text rather than "Search for a post"
3. Is there a way to show more than 10 in the suggested dropdown?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

1. Is there a way to sort/alphabetize this list?
==>
Yes, You can add the orderby argument to your relationship form's [cred-relationship-role] shortcode which accepts the values date, title or ID.

For example:

[cred-relationship-role role='parent' orderby='title']

orderby. Optional. Can take the values of date, title or ID. ID is the default value. It will decide the order of the posts being offered in this role selector.

order. Optional. Can take values of ASC and DESC. DESC is the default value. Defines the direction for the post oreder being offered in this role selector.

As per our support policy we entertain only one question per ticket. This will help other users searching on the forum as well as help us to write correct problem resolution summery for the original question.

I will split the ticket for the following question and will followup there respectively.
