bug: field values cannot be reordered

bug: field values cannot be reordered was created by jrevillini
Rank: High

Summary: If admin creates a field which is a dropdown, and s/he inputs a bunch of values and saves the field, there is no way to go back into that field, add another value, and reorder the value list.

Workaround: Add the new values at the end of the list. Go into the mysql database using phpmyadmin. Export the table to a sql file (if you like working in SQL) or excel csv. Open the file and manually edit the order. Empty the table. Re-import the data.

Comments:
I'm confused. Clearly the database supports value ordering. The front-end, however, does not seem to make an attempt to allow reordering to happen. Is this a feature that didn't make it into the release or something?

Yup, misread the post, sorry about that.

Unlocked thread, and moving it to Features Requests...

This is something we want to address in next major CB release.
