    Hi, add this to the "Item" property of the dropdown SortByColumns(DataSource,"Columnname", Ascending)

    Do you have any way to incorporate Text with the numbers? for ex; what you recommended helps but still puts any of the items with "Mid" in the description last. is there any other recommendation on how I can manage these dates?

    The first idea is to use Sort(DataSource,Right(Column,4),ascending) This will put a delegation warning on it, but will basically get the result you're looking for. The formula will basically sort the list based on the last 4 digits which will put the Mid year next to the "Naked" year.
