Q: hi people, can anyone tell whether one has the possibility in numbers, the entries in the pop-up menu to sort alphabetically me

Hi Dieter,

Your profile shows Mac OS X (10.6.8) so it seems you are using Numbers version 2.x

Numbers 2 does not have the ability to sort Pop-Up Menu entries (except by a painful process of adding or subtracting entries in Inspector).

Numbers 3 makes Pop-Up Menus a breeze. But it is your choice whether to update to OS X Mavericks and Numbers 3 . Some features have been lost, other features have been added, and there are some workarounds.

Have a look at these threads before you decide:
