XCLN: Sort Button Behaves Unexpectedly on Forms

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Electronic Forms Designer 1.0

SUMMARY

You can set the List Values parameters on the Initial Value tab for a Listbox object in the Microsoft Exchange Electronic Forms Designer. However, the Sort button may not work as expected if duplicate List Values are created with only a difference in the case of the letters. If the Sort button is pressed more than once, the duplicate values might be sorted in a different order each time.

MORE INFORMATION

For example, "Computer", "COMPUTER", "CoMpUtEr", "Apple", and "Dog" are added as List Values and you press the Sort button numerous times. All of the computer entries will appear between "Apple" and "Dog" but they will be sorted randomly.

This issue should not impact very many users because Listboxes are generally used to list an array of different values. Where duplicate values are necessary, you have complete control over the listing of the values by using the Move buttons in the Initial Value dialog.
