Is this possible? I looked in Help but didn't see anything relevant. Thank you.

The completion list values of an attribute will be sorted alphabetically.

So the user who sets up a list to formalize data entry has a few extra steps:

1. Select Tools | Attributes | Properties
2. Create list & leave it in auto-completion mode
3. Close Tools | Attributes | Properties
4. Jump to another item & back again to sort
5. Select Tools | Attributes | Properties
6. Restrict list to formalize data entry
7. Close & enter data in form

Maybe sorting could be on entry instead of some other trigger. Just a thought that might simplify things.
