 * Hi, I have a working sign up page. On the section where they select which email
   lists to choose the form is defaulting to the top choice.
 * I can’t get the order of choices to change. If I can change the order so that
   the most common list would be checked, then it would work.
 * or, if I can get it to stop automatically putting a check in any choice. Any 
   suggestions?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fchanging-default-list-selection%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Good day [@fremontumc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fremontumc/)
 * I know we have had the occasional request for these ordering and default checked
   functionality, but it hasn’t necessarily been a large enough demand to put forward
   thus far.
 * That said, I am adding this forum thread to some internal documentation so that
   we can consider it with some heavier weight, as you are showing there may be 
   more demand than we previously had.
 * As is, the listing is going to be in alphabetical order at the moment, just like
   you see in the admin, and we have it set to auto-check the first one in the saved
   list.
 * Regarding that last part, with being able to uncheck a default, I think we could
   manage to do something for that in the interim while we evaluate other things.
   I can’t promise an immediate timeframe for when that would be formally released
   for everyone, but as I already have in mind how we’d do things, I could provide
   a temporarily modified copy of the plugin that allows for changing just that 
   one behavior, if that’d be of interest to you.

 * Thank you so much for the information. Please see what you can do. The top item
   by alphabet- is the **least** likely choice and being able to set my own order
   is very important to me.

 * I can’t yet promise on timeframe, but I can say with certainty that we have looked
   over our options and found an integration we can make that will have sorting 
   and most likely some amount of search available. I know I’m definitely testing
   things out with this today to see how much work would be needed to pull it in.
 * In short, probably more sooner than later.
 * Marking this thread as resolved, and as a feature request we’re looking into 
   now.

 * Slight delay in some things here, but we have things in hopefully final testing
   and review to add this functionality into the plugin. Current plan is intended
   as part of a version 2.6.0 of our Forms plugin.
