Default Pivot table drop downs

When setting up a pivot table i have a field 'names' which I have placed in
the 'Drop Page Fields Here' so that I can print the rest of the table for
each individual. However when I select the drop down it offers me all the
names in random order. This would be ok with up to 10 names but is very time
consuming when there re a couple of hudred names.

Is it possible to put the drop downinto alphabetical order?

Hi Tony

That isn't as easy as it might sound.

However, here's code that comes somewhat close to what you want to do.

In any case, it already gives you most of the objects you need.

I don't know if it could be tweaked to sort, but you might give it a try.
