[Resolved] Sort alphabetically the options of a “Select field type”

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
I created a Select field with some options.
Those are all messed up and I want to automatically have Toolset to sert them, as example alphabetically.
Is this possible?

Solution:
No.
We want the Developer to have full control over the Field's Options and if we would force some ordering, other than what the Developer sets in his Fields Options, we would interfere with the Developers wishes.
You would have to drag and drop your Options in the Field manually by moving them with the arrows.

No, not if you do not do it manually.

We want the Developer to have full control over the Field's Options and if we would force some ordering, other than what the Developer sets in his Fields Options, we would interfere with the Developers wishes.
