Sorting relationship items

Hey guys, I have problem when I want to swap field component of relationship, and use

useField

hook to update the field. To add the items it works, but somehow I can't change the order of items.

I use setValue with an array, i.e.

initialValue ->

['a', 'b', 'c']

then

setValue(['c', 'b', 'a'])

then refresh page still

['a', 'b', 'c']

it is works when i add item, i.e

['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']

Is there another way to set item's order?

hi @rrums - where are you getting the array of data from? as you can sort on requests

not to querying, but to store data (array of IDs)

because i swapped the field component, but i can't change order of the IDs

like this -> i log the
value
, it has correct arrays, the order is set as I drag the item. But it wasn't stored with correct order.

FYI, the field on collection
```
{
  name: 'items',
  type: 'relationship',
  relationTo: 'menuItems',
  hasMany: true,
  required: true,
  admin: {
    components: {
      Field: MenuSelect // custom component
    },
    isSortable: true,
  }
}
```

Curious, what does the network panel look like for this request?

ouch found the problem, because I fetch not from initialValue. My bad.
