Order Assignee List by Worker Lastname

We would find it much easier to use the Assignee filter list if it was ordered by worker lastname. Currently it appears to be ordered by objectid (order the user was added to project).

Just wanted to follow up on this. We would like to see the Assignee drop down (both the Working and Not Working sections) ordered by either FirstName or LastName (any order will do) rather than the random order that is present now. At any given time we have 20+ Working users and it is an annoyance to for the need to read every name in the drop down to find the worker that you want. If the list of employees were ordered, the user can quickly locate the desired worker.

Thanks for considering this enhancement.

@JakeMatthys Does the ability to filter the workers (at the top of dropdown) help with this at all? We don't have any plans to support ordering by last name; this would be a breaking change to support as we're currently supporting the worker name in a single field. We would consider supporting this if we moved to using the named user itself as opposed to the Worker/Dispatcher layer/table.

@CraigGillgrass Thanks for the suggestion, I forgot/overlooked that functionality and will present that back to the dispatchers. I think that the filter option should be sufficient.

Thanks,
