Sort order of dropdown list

Hey there!

I have a dropdown list and I want it to display the items in a particular order.
Is that possible?

Thanks

Is the list a taxonomy/tag/category OR a custom field (post meta), as the sorting options are different?

Assuming that the sorting options you saw in the field options (in the Form UI) were not what you wanted, can you also describe in your reply how you did want to sort them?

These values are in that taxonomy? It would be far better were they a custom field with these values, maybe using ACF to make the fields. Then, you can drag and drop the display order in the field setup in our Form UI.

You will find the ACF fields in the Post Meta form object. Make sure the meta key you select does NOT begin with an underscore. The fields will only appear in the select list when you have assigned values to the key(s) in posts.

Hm I don’t understand completely.
My fields group is named “Anstrengung”. This group contains three checkboxes with different values.

I cannot see “Anstrengung” in the meta key dropdown list. You say, when I have assigned values to the keys in posts. What do you mean? I have a post and when I edit it, I cannot add a value that relates to the group “Anstrengung”.

You do not add afield group to the form, you must add the individual fields you made. By default ACF applies a field group to ‘posts’. Are you using a custom post type? It is done here:

The screenshot (from a test site of mine) shows the group being applied to a CPT called Property.

The fields will then show directly below the Post Editor content box in the WP post editor page.

Hm, I applied the rule “Page is equal Videoportal”. I can see the filed in the WP post editor page but should I do next?

I have a page called Videoportal where visitors can search and filter videos. These search form should include those three checkboxes but I cannot see how I should make it work …
When I go to my S&F settings there are neither checkbox names nor the group name in the meta key dropdown.

Thanks for your patience.
