Dynamic Multiple Choice doesn't display values in order (A-Z), but should

Hi everybody!

I'm hoping someone can help me with this because I give up - can't figure it out :->)

I'm using a Dynamic Multiple Choice field, "Show as" Radio Buttons on the COLORS Table. (I also tried it to 'show as' Combobox.

-- The (COLORS) table is in A-Z Order (by Pantone Color name). But the values displayed (w/'radio buttons' are completely 'unordered' and it's crazy to find the selections I need.

-- The dynamic multiple choice field is getting its' values from 'itself' (the COLORS table) -- maybe that's the problem-but I don't think it should be? OR ... it could be that I need to use a relationship instead of the DMC field but it would have to be an MN relation thus an additional table - which I shouldn't need to do because we now have the Dynamic choice fields :-)  

The 'Dynamic Value' is:

select COLORS

I even tried to do something along the lines of an  openTable ("TableName", "View") but of course, that did not work ... nor did I expect it to but I was willing to try anything. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! 

Thanks,

Karen
