Avoid sorting of listbox after selection

Hi,

I have a list box which contains the month names. I sorted it based on Month code using Expression sort. The values come sorted the first time, but after a selection is made, the values are sorted randomly. Is there a way to avoid sorting after a selection is made? Please let me know.

Go to general tab, enable 'Show as TreeView'

Or,

In the sort tab, uncheck sort by 'State' .

Uncheck the Sort by State option in Sort tab.

Guys,

Extremely sorry for not replying. Was out of town. This worked perfectly just that I used only {1} MonthCode, where MonthCode is a column in my month table. Before this I tried un-checking all options (except Expression) but it didn't work. Also, Show as Tree View actually disables Sort by State and seems to be working as well. Thanks everyone who had replied to my question
