    Combo box - ordering the listing

    Hi all,
    ..I am new to combo boxes so please excuss generate ignorance, but I would like to ask a coup,le of questions regarding there use.

    1 - Is it possible to set it up so that the list within the combo box always appear in alphabetical, or numerical order?

    2 - is it possible for the output cell to match the actual "data", or will it only ever output the row reference?

    Many thanks,

    Stu

    Hi Stu100,

    Depends on which type of combobox and where it is , so it’s plausible

    Like Pike stated, it is possible depending on the combobox....if it's a combobox in a userform, you can sort the reference data so that it is in alpha order and then when the userform is initialized, the data will appear in the list in the same order.
