Hi,
I've manage to manually added list of values using svs in a for loop into a dropdown.  Is there a way the list in the dropdown display in a sorted way?
Thanks

Hi,
Try this code:
IPrivateBsb.IBttlNode bttlNd =wdContext.nodeBttl();
        IWDAttributeInfo bttlList =wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("BttlDrop");
        ISimpleTypeModifiable bttlType = bttlList.getModifiableSimpleType();
        IModifiableSimpleValueSet valueSetBttl =bttlType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
        List tempList  = new ArrayList();
        for (int count = 0; count < bttlNd.size(); count++) {
             IPrivateBsb.IBttlElement bttlEmt = bttlNd.getBttllementAt(count);
             tempList.add(bttlEmt.getBttlName());
        Collections.sort(tempList);
                    // Also check these ways.....
         // Case-insensitive sort
                    // Collections.sort(list, String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER);
                    // Reverse-order sort
                    //    Collections.sort(list, Collections.reverseOrder());
        int size = tempList.size();
        String name = null;
        for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
          name = (String)tempList.get(i);
          IPrivateBsb.IBttlElement bttlEmt = bttlNd.getBttllementAt(count);
          if(name.equalsIgnoreCase(bttlEmt.getBttlName())){
               valueSetBttl.put(bttlEmt.getBttlId(), name);
I hope this helps.. Please revert back in case u want further help.
Thanks and Regards
