You can turn the result set into a list and then do a list sort and sort it alphabetically like so:
ListSort(valuelist(get_PH.hier_num, "",""), "TextNoCase", "ASC", ",") or this (will probably run faster) ListSort(valuelist(get_PH.hier_num, "",""), "Text", "ASC", ",") And then loop over the list for your drop down.
