Just wondering if anyone has a work around for this….

I sell shirts and want a drop-down menu showing sizes.
Unfortunately the menu items are shown in a strict alphabetic order.
Normally sensible but… for sizes you really need them to show in the [URL removed]
S, M, L, XL, 2XL – which is a natural progression for a shopper.
as it is they are [URL removed] 2XL, L, M, S, XL – which is just an ungainly mess.

I’ve tried forcing a series of periods in front of the sizes
not ideal but i was hoping for the sort sequence to run as [URL removed]
….S
…M
..L
..XL
.2XL

In ASCII sequence the ‘period’ comes before Numerics followed by Alphas
However in Bonanza Sequence it seems to run Numerics ‘period’ Alphas
with the result that no matter how I try, that pesky 2XL label appears at the top.

Not sure if Bonanza are using a ‘regular’ sort sequence of some kind or one of their own invention.
I’m not a techy and if they are I havn’t been able to find a table showing a sequence with the period between alphas and numerics.
What I’m hoping for is that there will be a ‘special character’ that I could use as a spacer to force the sequence i want.

Space would of course be ideal but because it’s converting to html multiple spaces are reduced to a single space – so that doesn’t work.

Or maybe I’m just missing an obvious trick.

It’s just irritating – I really hate how the selections look with this sort sequence, just looks unprofessional and untidy – I know it would put me off.
