Allow manual reordering of Defined Values in Dashboard Category Selector

Currently, users must define custom values to customize the order of the displayed selector options. While this is simple for values with only a few options, a drop down menu with >10 defined values becomes time consuming. I propose adding an up/down button to re-order the Defined Values instead of having to add them manually using the Custom Values option.

Up, down arrows or drag n drop would be great. Currently if I want to add a new option and place it in a different order I have retype everything.

Yes! This seems like a fairly simple feature but it would make things so much easier. I recently made a drop-down with 50 defined values, and I wanted them displayed in alphabetical order in the drop-down. Had to be very careful I didn't make a mistake when entering them or I'd have to go back and repeat a lot of work!

I guess in the long run this isn't a "game changer" feature but it really would make for a better user interface. Pretty please, Esri?

Any updates about this? I fully agree with original poster. It's 2022.

2024 and this is badly needed as functionality inside of Dashboards. Just ran into this myself.
