Custom sort list box

Hi,

I have a list box created with an expression =[Product ID] & ' - ' & [Product Description] that has values like

001 - abc

123 - bcs

234 - 276

I want to sort the list box by the product Description in ascending order. Kindly suggest!

Thanks!

Can you do like

= ProductDescription & '-' & [Product ID]

Then Sort tab -> Check Text - A-Z.

Will that work?
