Is there a way to sort this choice component in alphabetical order?

From what table/column are you getting these options?

From another table in my app that contains exercises and their Row IDs (plus some other stuff).

The user adds in exercises to the list and then he needs to reference them in this table component, so he needs to be able to see them in alphabetical order, but the text I input are their respective row IDs

There seems to be a bug with Data Grid. I tried to use a Query to see if my sort translates to the component, but I can’t even see the right columns when I use it.

Will escalate this.
