It would be helpful to have the ability to sort User Group members alphabetically within Tulip.
As the number of users in a User Group grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to quickly locate a specific user when a User Group is used as a dropdown variable within an app. Currently, the list does not appear to be sorted alphabetically, requiring users to manually search through the list.
**Suggested Enhancement:** Add an option to automatically sort User Group members alphabetically (A–Z) when they are displayed in app dropdowns.
Has anyone else encountered this challenge or found a workaround?

This is very necessary, especially when the number of users in the user group is very high.

[customWidget-User Group Sort.json](https://community.tulip.co/uploads/short-url/yf7EDKCwikyyyJBx4eUuYfPgDyW.json) (3.8 KB) Here is a custom widget that retrieves the list of group user IDs from the Users API (`/api/users/v1/user-groups/{userGroupId}/users`), compares those IDs against the Users table to look up each user’s name, sorts the results, and outputs the sorted list to both the console and a prop.
Currently, the widget retrieves up to 100 users but I’ve only tested it on a smaller group of roughly 6 records. It may be possible to support larger user groups with some additional tweaks.
