Hi Friends,

i have sort problem with a list box. so we have a field name like FY16-FEB format. to sort it based on our fiscal month, i created a MonthSort field corresponding with it. so i will show the Period listbox which is sorted by MonthSort. if nothing be click, it looks fine:

you can see the Aug is our first month and it will have Monthsort value 1601. but once i click, things get crazy

the grey area, the MonthSort behave as wanted, but the PERIOD is totally messed up, and i have no idea what kind of sort the grey items are using!

since i am showing PERIOD, customer is very confused if they want to choose another month.
