Hi

I use an XML datasource to populate drop down list in Infopath 2003 SP1.
And my XML source is not sorted ascending but at random. IS it possible to
make Infopath sort ascending from an XML datasource ? Apparently it seems OK
for database source but not XML sources.

Unfortunately, you'll have to write code for that.

I haven't checked, but I don't think it has been. Have you seen this article?
