Thanks for considering!")* I also would love the ability to easily reorder values in a custom field for later filtering. we store the location of a photo in the custom field and I'm just imagining constantly reordering the locations list into alphabetical order every time we do a photo shoot somewhere different. would be great if you could add the ability to automatically re-sort into alphabetical order when needed.
