It would be very useful to have the ability to sort an Editable list

The editable list control?

Yes. Right now you can add values to the list, which is fine, but you cannot sort them differently if you change your mind. You have to delete all and add them again.

In case of small lists it;s not an issue. But for larger lists, say more than 10, it's annoying.

I believe this can be done only in the UI, there is no need to change core functionality of the Editable list.

I hope this makes sense.

Are we talking about a specific place in the UI or in general? Because the underlying datasource needs to support sorting...

I believe it can be general for this type of control.

The value in Editable list is just comma separated values. You can add values by pressing the "+" sign.

Sorting will only change the order of the values. It doesn't need to change what is retrieved from the database.

I am not talking about SQL based item lists or any other complex way of listing Items. Just the editable list in which you can add values.
I have added a screenshot to make sure it's clear what I am referring to.

Yup. Does it make sense? Do you find it useful?
