Definition Query Builder — Values dropdown list in alphabetical order

When creating a definition query using the query builder, the values dropdown list isn't in alphabetical order:

Could that behavior be changed so that the list is sorted alphabetically, regardless of the order of the underlying CV domain? That would make it easier to find values when the list is long.

Hello @Bud , if you press your Field Settings button here, you can choose your preferred ordering options.

"You can adjust the display of field lists in geoprocessing tools using the Field list settings button Field list settings next to every field parameter. You can display fields in their original order, or alphabetically in ascending or descending order. You can also choose to show field aliases or names."

There must be some sort of misunderstanding 😞

The sort options from the Query Builder control's settings are only applicable to the Fields list but not for the Values list.
