In Grid Edit it will sort by the first value in the dropdown by your standard alpha-numeric sorting. So if you want to control that you need to format the string in a way that they sort the way you want. An example would be if you have like a status of Open, Closed, Not Started, you could do 01-Open, 02-Closed, 03-Not Started.

Another option would be to make a Legacy Type form with the fields on the form corresponding to grid edit columns. Then in Forms Usage set that form to be used for Grid edit or at least for Grid edit on that report. Then you can set a repot on that form to be used to drive sort of the drop down.

Thanks, Mark! I couldn't get the legacy form bit to work, see my reply to Chayce. I suspect this instance might have been too complex a sort to do via the Forms Usage tool. That said, I can def see myself using your method in the future.
