Is there a way to have the "List" widget display it's list of items in an alphabetical order based on the "DisplayField" value?

    You will have to pre-sort the information in the service. There is a service available under the infotable functions called Sort.

    Hi Pai,

    I'm not sure exactly how to implement what you are suggesting given my current design.  I'm populating the "List" widget using the "GetImplementingThingsWithData" service. Simliar to how we did in the training class.  How do I pre sort that list?

    Loren,

    The best practice is to wrap the ThingWorx-provided

    Service

     (e.g.,

    GetImplementingThingsWithData()

    ) in your own

    Service

    . This will allow you to set more granular permissions and in this case, call

    GetImplementingThingsWithData()

     and pass the

    InfoTable

     returned to the

    Sort()

    InfoTableFunction

     all in one

    Service

    .
