I have a database table that stores "cities" that is a dropdown option in another entry form. Right now they are being displayed in the order they were entered into the database, I want to have them listed in alphabetical order in the drop down. How's the best way to accomplish this?
Thanks,

In the lookup wizard on the edit/add Page in the visual design you have a field 'Order By'.

This can be ascending or descending.
Set 'Display field' and 'order by' to 'Cities'

Does this solve your problem ?
