New Commercial Services Section
We have now opened a commercial services section here on the forum for registered users. If you have a Fabrik project that you wish to have someone work on for you, post it under Help Wanted. If you are an application developer and wish to earn some money helping others, post your details under Fabrik Application Developers.
Both of these are unmoderated. It will be up to both parties to work out the details and come to an agreement.

http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?threads/sort-order-in-drop-down-filter.27828/
... talks about how to apply the sort order (for filtered list it's about mid way through the post), but it will not be dynamic without overriding and modifying the template) meaning if the data sort order is changed by clicking on the column header or whatever, the filter order will stay at the applied one.

That thread is from 2 years ago on 3.0, so I doubt there will be much activity on it any time soon.

And when someone with "Standard" or "Pro" by their name starts raising it as an issue again, we'll be able to afford to spend the time to work on it.
Fabrik is like painting the Forth Bridge, it's a never ending task, there will always be corner case issues to fix. So we have to give priority to issues raised by paying subscribers, or to major issues which effect everyone. I hate to be so crassly commercial, but we have to eat and pay our rent.

So Paul....
Yes this "can" be done, but if you really need it, you would have to code it. What you are asking about is a bit off the beaten path, so it seems understandable the Fabrik team cannot afford to spend time on something like this for free when they have a ton of much larger fish to fry that are paying the bills.
Personally, while I am thrilled that Fabrik is free and has the power it does, I do not see how the team can afford to keep pace with it for free in the first place. So for something like this, if I really needed it, I would just code it myself (initially using overrides) and possibly hand it off to the Fabrik team for future consideration.

Hi Dale, I used to have a Pro membership in the early days, but then last year Fabrik changed the pricing structure which increased the cost 5 fold and they did not give any leeway for previous loyal members.
Our currency exchange rate made it un-affordable for me to continue subscribing.
I had incorrectly assumed, at the very least, the dropdown order should take on at the element order.
Using dates for example, this is the most prevalent...... for example if one has a DATE element in DESC order, the dropdown still gives the dates in ASC order. So if one has a mobile device, and the dropdown has say 80 date items, one is forever swiping to get to the other end of the list..... pretty frustrating for the client.
I would certainly look at it, but would rely on someone showing me where to start which would save me oodles of time trying to fathom out where to look.
Thanks for taking the time to engage me with my problem, much appreciated.
