How to (un)sort an input dropdown in dashboard studio

ktn01
Path Finder

I have the following search

index=dsi_splunk host=dev_splunkmanager script=backup 
| stats earliest(_time) as debut by pid
| convert timeformat="%d/%m/%Y %H:%M" ctime(debut)

 The result is sorted as I need:

I use this search as input for a dropdown on dashboard studio but de result is sorted differently:

It seems the list is sorted by "value".

 

How may I have an unsorted dropdown to conserve the result order?

 

Thanks

So, the one you currently have selected is at the top, the rest are in the order returned by the search. This behaviour is different to SimpleXML dropdowns.

Which version of Splunk are you using as Studio is under active development and some improvements have been made.

This appears to work for me on 9.1.1.  Please can you try cutting down your dashboard to isolate the issue, then post the source code.
