Make Item Numbering Scheme list alphabetical rather than order of creation.

Make Item Numbering Scheme list alphabetical rather than order of creation.

We have a series of part numbering schemes created over the last couple years.

When viewing the number schemes in the Creation Tool, they are listed in alphabetical order.

However, when actually using the number schemes to create new part numbers, they are listed in order of creation. (See snapshot.)

It would be good to see this list in alphabetical (alphanumeric) order.

 

Note: This same behavior is seen with the ECO routing list.

The default sort of ALL lists should be configurable.

 

I submitted this idea months ago and it was closed. Order of creation is rarely the order that someone actually want to see list values.

It doesn't solve the original issue, but I'd prefer to still not be limited by alphabetical ordering or any kind of automated ordering.  Personally I think there should be a separate property for order of listing, so it can be manually set by an admin.  To get around this issue, I've had to prefix my numbering schemes with a numerical value, like below.  The numbering schemes are then ordered and presented as they are below:
