In the Project Build dialog, I noticed that the pull-down list for table selection is not sorted in table_name sequence.

When working in database schemas with large number of tables, this makes it difficult to find the target table.

I have not been bothered by this problem in other dialog locations, but it is probably a good standard practice.

Thanks.

Hi Donn, thanks for this suggestion.

We're actually reporting the table names in the same order the database tells us they're in. Normally, this is alphabetical. In fact, JDBC dictated that the tables are to be listed out alphabetically.

Which database platform and driver are you using when you experience this non-sorted table behaviour?
