One VERY nice feature in Web AppBuilder is being able to explicitly set the presentation order of values in a predefined choice list. Apparently, Experience Builder automatically sorts value choices alphabetically. That option surely has some utility for some. But for our needs, allowing explicit placement is far superior. We have several long lists of choices in one application. Some dictated by regulations or policy, others by convention. Users a very familiar with these choices being presented in a specific order. In each case, there is an inherent grouping of the individual choices they are familiar with a comfortable with and makes sense to them. To not see those options in the familiar order is disorienting to them.

It would be VERY helpful if an option could simply be offered NOT sort filter value choice lists and just use the order of choices as configured in the builder.

Thanks

YES!  This would be particularly helpful when sorting days of the week....  I can't tell you how many complaints I get about the days of the week being in alphabetical and not logical order.
