Add data widget - set sort by title as default

Question

Greetings,

In WAB 2.3, using the add data widget, is there a way to set it to sort by title as the default?  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Jason, You need to make changes in two files: [install dir]\server\apps\[app#]\widgets\AddData\search\SortOptions.js line 31: /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Copyright © 2016 Esri.
