| | Please please please....can you guys put in a sort for the Binding Fields? They currently come into the BO Mapper in the order they are in the db, and you can't sort by name. Also, when setting the BindingField property on a control, they are in that same order. This makes it extremely tedious to scroll through 50 fields in no particular order looking for the one you want. If you could simply alphabetize these fields in the mapper and also in the BindingField dropdown it would be a huge help! Thanks! |

| I certainly agree with that... Just added it to the ToDo list.

| | Not to shoot down the idea but this will be an option right? I know here that database order is easier to go by since we order our fields into logical groups... |

| I'm going to have to make the request to make this optional too. I'm going crazy trying to find fields now, because like Ben, my fields are logically grouped and I'm real familiar with the db order. I didn't realize how much until this new fix was implemented! 
I'd suggest that for a quick fix, allow the BO Mapper to return fields in db order, with sorting easily done with a click on the header. If after a sort, if the developer wanted the order to revert back to db order, they could just click off the BO, then back on. As for binding field order, ideally, there would be a preference to sort or not on the binding fields.
Thanks! |

| | We can add another preference in the next update. It drove me crazy at first too, but once I got used to it I liked it much better since you can rely on the custom properties, etc. being in alphabetical order. |

| | I noticed the ordering has been updated to alphabetical but I don't see an option anywhere to keep db order. Is there an option that I am not seeing or is this the new way the dialogs will continue to order the fields? If so I think you should really consider an option for those of us who have things in the order we want them. |
