While the new domain tools in 10.1 are a good addition I would like to be able to manually re-order a domain that is not in any alphabetical order such as below.0EME0000000TR9V
The Domain Tools from http://resources.arcgis.com/gallery/file/geodatabase/details?entryID=D62A883B-1422-2418-8873-5721AB3... that could be added to previous arcgis versions were great. Something similar to how that would allow you to manually-ish reorder a domain would be a useful tool.
I wasn't able to get that sample to work in 10.1.

Hello, 

In the creation process of domains, sometimes you want to change the order you just entered before saving. Currently there's only the option to a sort the domains (alphabetically) or delete and change text manually. 

I would love to see a way to be able to click and drag to re-sort these values when creating a new domain list.

Thanks for your consideration!

Best,

Can I kudo it twice? 

 

I get why it would be difficult to allow manual sorting after creation, but here the domain doesn't even exist yet. This would be a welcome improvement!

To add to this.  I have issues with the sort sticking.  Most of the time, I tell it to sort alphabetically and save, but it reverts back to the original order.  I have to delete at type it in manually. Would be great to figure out this bug and love the idea of being able to drag options into a desired order.

@PamelaKing I've seen that behavior before as well. Haven't tested in newer versions of Pro yet though.
