Sort my bookmarks in drop down lists in alphabetical order not just in Library Views

When I click on Bookmarks then select a folder to view its contents, I want to see those contents in alphabetical order By Name, not in the hpahazard order in which they were added. I know I can View them in the Library List in alphabetical order or change that to something else. But I want tp make the drop down list and the folder contents to be in alphabetical order all the time.

The Views menu in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) is for viewing the bookmarks in a different sorting order (hence the name Views) and doesn't sort bookmarks permanently. 
Clicking the column header does the same sorting for viewing purposes only. 
If you want to sort bookmarks then you need to right-click a folder and use "Sort By Name" to sort that folder.

How do I get my drop down lists in alphabetical order?

Got a new computer and installed Firefox 3.6.10. I moved over my bookmarks, etc. from the old computer. However, all of my drop-down lists are not in alphabetical order any more. And if I use one of the entries, it will sometimes move to a different order than it had been when I clicked on it. How do I get them back in alphabetical order?

The entries for form field are in current Firefox version is the order that you add them and not ordered alphabetically. 
Maybe an extension like Autofill Forms can sort them.
I'm not using it, so you need to check that yourself.

Drop-down list formattedValue returning value, not text

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with a drop-down list. I can get the information I want in Reader 9, but we only have Reader 7.0.5 distributed at the moment.
I need to pull out its text value and its specified value, but everything I try just pulls out the specified value.
In Reader 9 formattedValue gives me the text and rawValue will give me the specified value.
Anyone able to help me please?
Thanks,
Tom

Tom:
It's possible, but complicated. You need to look into the field definition where we store the listbox contents. Then you can correlate the display item from the bound item. I've done this before in another context. I've appended the script I used.

Hi John, you should either add the values to your InfoPath dropdown manually or create a new list in SharePoint with the values and make a connection to that list to populate your dropdown.

Including "All column name " in the dashboard prompt drop down list

Hi All,
I have following requirement :
1. Exclude the one of the column value from the drop-down list ( say exclude XYZ from client Name)
2. Add a new “All Clients” to the Column drop-down list and make that the default. This choice will be as if the user went in and selected all of the Clients on the drop-down list.
I am not able to achieve the second point of the requirement . Can anyone help me with this.

If i understand you right you are trying to change "All column values" to "All clients" and you can do that in

Add a drop down list in an exercise

Hi,
I would like to generate an exercise (simulation) with Adobe
Captivate, I found how to add a text area where the user can write,
but in my exercise, i would like the user to select a value under a
drop down list.
I do not know if it’s possible, does someone know how
to do this ?
Thank’s for your help

pgosler, I'm happy the video tutorials were helpful. We are
not supposed to know this, but those tutorials were created by
fellow AdobeCommunityExpert Mark Fletcher. Not sure why it's a
secret, but is is, so don't tell anyone...
The key to happy recording is and has always been to pay
attention to the taskbar icon while recording - it will flash "red"
each time a screen capture is made. And supplement the
auto-captures by leaving one finger on the PRTSCR keyboard key to
manually capture what you think the auto-record feature might have
missed.
In other words, Captivate's "automatic" capture features are
great, but they should never be assumed to have replaced your brain
... the programmers haven't yet taught the program how to read
minds.

Drop down list in adobe.

Hi,
I have created an adobe form, in which I have to create drop down box which has to read values from simple type. for this i have created context attribute whose type is simple type, and i have draged that context attribute in adobe form, and made it to drop down list, but values r not getting populating here,
how to poin this to simple type.

Hi try this way
In your view create a Value Node of cardinality 1:1 (say of name DataSource ).
Inside DataSource Create another Value Node of cardinality 0:n say Employee .
Create a Value Attribute of Java_Simple_Type say EmpName.
In Interactive Form Properties bind DataSource node under DataSource Element Properties.
Open Interactive form to Edit.
In adobe form designer go to left side window among three windows available.
Go to Data View Tab.
Here u will see your context structure.
click on EmpName under Employee Node and drag and drop it to middle window which is adobe design time window.
By this u will get a UI Element with drop down list and is automatically bound to context also.
Save and Deploy.

Drop down list in Adobe forms

Hi All,
I need to provide a drop down list in the Adobe form. I am calling this form from an SE38 program. I have selected the 'Value Help drop down list' element. How do i pass the value or bind the values to this element. The values for the drop down list are selected from a standard table at runtime.
I tried using Enumerated drop down list also but did not work.
Any idea????
Thanks,

Hi ,
Thanks for posting this, saved me a lot of hassles trying to program something. One question. My values are in a nested table. e.g. I have a table with criteria for an appraisal. The criteria have a dropdown on them with a ratings. So, one appraisal, many citeria, many possible rating values. When I put in your code, e.g. $record.APPRAISAL.CRITERIA.DATA[].RATINGS.DATA[] , I get all Ratings relevant to all criteria on each line for the criteria table, not just for the criterion they belong to. How do I specify that it should only pick up the ratings for the current criterion ?
Hope my explanation makes sense
Thanks !

Missing Export and Use Drop Down Lists

I cannot export my .mov files to any format other than .mov as the Export and Use drop down lists are missing. When I go to File > Export the text for Export and Use are there followed by blank gray space as if the drop down lists never existed.
I just upgraded to Pro today and had infrequently used QuickTime Player previously. I have the most current version 7.6.5. The other functions appear to be working normally, but I am not a "familiar user" so I can't say for sure.
Any ideas?

Well I could not copy & paste the text from the Movie Inspector, so I have typed it below (except for the complete source info).
Source: C:\....Filename.MOV
Format: 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Mono, 44.100 KHz
MPEG-4 Video, 1280 x 720, Millions
Movie FPS: 30.01
Playing FPS: 30.01
Data Size: 8.16 MB
Data Rate: 6.99 mbits/sec
Current Time: 00:00:00.00
Duration: 00:00:09.80
Normal Size: 1280 x 720 pixels
Current Size: 1280 x 720 pixels
I have also downloaded a couple of iPod hip-hop ad movies (.mov) and they have the same problem (no export drop-down lists), so I don't believe it is the movie format.
I have not tried to uninstall/reinstall QuickTime Pro yet, but wonder if I should....

Drop down list button is narrow (how do I change it)?

I have a drop down list on my Designer 8 form. When viewing the form in acrobat or adobe reader the grey button that you click to get the list is really narrow. Is there any way to change the width of that little button?
Thanks for the help!

Are you using pm-utils? If not, you should look into it--It's a super-easy way of managing suspend/hibernation:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pm-utils
Once configured, you can simply bind a key (or configure the acpi daemon) to execute the following command:
/usr/sbin/pm-hibernate
You'll need to execute that as root, or use sudo (which is outlined in the wiki article).
Good luck!
thanks, pm-utils looks nice, however, I'm having problems with the button itself, not hibernate, I can do that just fine with the hibernate script (I'm replacing it with pm-utils though), no mater how much I press it, or how much I've messed with acpid, I still cannot make it do anything... btw, is there something that catches the button as a program, so I can know if the module is getting info from it?

BUG: Sorting drop-down lists from the field tab when using "specify item values"

Hi all,
I've finished creating my form now, but I came across this whilst writing up my documentation for maintenance tasks.
This occurs when adding new values to a drop-down list that has the "Specify item values" checkbox in the binding tab checked.
When I then try to sort my list using the built in sort buttons, it will sort the items, but the list of specified values in the binding tab does not sort reorder to stay with the original items in the list. This is hapenning when I sort from the Object > Field tab. If I sort in the Object > Binding tab then the sort will include the specified values.
For example:
A    5
C    2
D    9
Add a new value to get:
A    5
C    2
D    9
B    10
Sort the list using the button:
A    5
B    2
C    9
D    10
But it should be:
A     5
B     10
C     2
D     9

I was able to duplicate this problem and it looks like a possible bug. I've submitted it to support.

When bookmarking a page, I can't get the complete list of bookmark folders to dropdown in order to select any folder in which to bookmark page. What do you set to get whole list of folders in Bookmarks to drop down?

When bookmarking a page, I can't get the complete list of bookmark folders to drop down in order to select any folder in which to bookmark page. The 'Folder:' bar has 'Bookmarks Menu' showing. The arrow on the bar drops down 5 recent folders to which pages have been saved, but the pop down arrow to the right of the bar just opens to show the three categories and 'New Folder' button. What do you set to get whole list of folders in Bookmarks to drop down?

To all, embarrassingly enough, I have discovered that I didn't know how to expand the three categories including 'Bookmarks Menu' in the 'Bookmark This Page' pop up interface. It was expanded by default on the initial Firefox opening and first page bookmark attempt. Next use it only showed categories. I clicked and double clicked the 'Bookmarks Menu' line, but failed to see the small, shaded triangle used to expand/collapse list. If it appears collapsed, just tap triangle at left of line to see all folders. It seems to open the same way after I do it for first time. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for all the attempts to help.

Sorting a drop-down list in Content

Hello,
This may be a simple issue but I just started working with UCM and have a question. I have a metadata field that's populated using a drop-down list. Seems like the list is sorted based on the date and time I added the list values. I would like to sort the list alphabetically in ascending order based on the label in the view. I've looked all over the documentation but can't find this anyway.
Can anyone point me to the right solution?
Thanks.
Bigmc

Is this for a custom metadata field or one of the out of the box? if ootb, which field?
Where are you trying to find the information? I'm wondering where you're looking that you don't find it. It's documented in a few places in the "Managing Oracle WebCenter Content" document:

Clicking on the downward arrow at the right end of the location bar no longer displays the drop-down list of sites visited, bookmarks and addresses typed in location bar

Since I upgraded to Firefox version 3.6.10, clicking on the downward arrow at the right end of the location bar no longer displays the drop-down list of sites visited, bookmarks and addresses typed in location bar. My Tools > Options > privacy setting is to save history, and if I start typing a previously accessed website's address in the location bar, then the full address appears as a drop-down item. But not when I just click at the right end of the bar.

You can try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Yes, there is ranking property in template https://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/developing/templates.html#Properties and Child Nodes of a Template
