What is the issue you are experiencing?
Searching for custom fields by using the search options brings up a dropdown for Fields and one for Values. These lists are not sorted alphanumerically and ideally would be. If you only have a few custom fields, I guess it's not that big of a deal, but if you have many, it makes finding the right ones harder than it should be, especially since you can't search within the dropdown like you can in the Locations or Labels dropdowns
.
How can the maintainer reproduce the issue?
Go to https://nightly.homebox.software/items and modify a few items to include custom fields, with the same fields appearing on more than one item. (Currently no custom fields exist in Demo or Nightly, and I think the instances are reset regularly).
Create the fields deliberately out of order, i.e. "Weight" comes before "Size," and "54 lbs" comes before "13 lbs", etc.
Then, go to Search > Options > Field Selector > Add and click on the dropdown for Field. The custom fields will remain out of order. The Values will also appear out of order.
