Question
Is it possible to display Custom eXtendFiles Attributes of the List/Record type in the Inline Upload and Public Uploaders in a specific order instead of in alphabetical order?
Answer
At this time, Custom eXtendFiles Attributes of the List/Record type are designed to sort alphabetically. This sorting behavior cannot be modified.
Workaround
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 Attribute Names
- Add numbers or letters as prefixes to your attribute names in NetSuite to force the desired sort order
- Example:
- 01_High Priority
- 02_Medium Priority
- 03_Low Priority
- 01_High 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 users need to see different attribute options
