Allow Select List to Sort by Text/Value.

I was thinking it will be convenient (at least for me!) to have the select list field type to be able to sort it options by text/value alphabatically. Why?

For long select list it will often be preferred to sort the options alphabatically. Of cos when admin add values to the option for the first time he should sort it already, but when user at frontend is allowed to add new option to the select list, it will be troublesome for admin to re-order the values each time new options are added.

So either, if possible, allow an option to always auto sort the options by value, or allow a sort value button at backend add/edit fields option page. At least then the admin no need to slowly check alphabets, and click the up-down arror or re-type all orders number each time.

I'm not sure how practical it is, but just some thoughts!

Ah, and just a reminder, previously mentioned to allow an option for mod_jreviews_field to be a dropdown list and/or multiple select list. Mmm.. Have fun!
