Answer

When using eXtendFiles 1.9 or above, you can sort the File Type field. See Sorting File Type in Working with Customized Uploader Fields for more details.

For List/Record fields other than File Type:

List/Record fields other than File Type type are designed to sort alphabetically. While direct sorting control is not currently available, you may be able to implement one of these workarounds to achieve your desired organization:

Option 1: Modify Entry Names

  • Add numbers or letters as prefixes to your field entry names in NetSuite to force the desired sort order
  • Example:
    • 01_High Priority
    • 02_Medium Priority
    • 03_Low Priority

Option 2: Use Filter Expressions

  • Implement Filter Expressions to show only relevant options per record type
  • This approach reduces the number of visible choices without changing the sort order
  • Particularly useful when different record types utilize different attribute options
