• Mandatory: I have tested the latest development version from http://builds.jabref.org/main and the problem persists

I have found some other drop down menus where fields are not sorted (like in issue #7710):

• List of fields (i.e. exact same list as issue Cleanup action: some fields in random order #7710):

  • Menu Library -> Library properties, in section Save sort order: Primary, secondary and tertiary sort criteria.
  • Menu Options -> Preferences, in tab File, section Export sort order: Primary, secondary and tertiary sort criteria.
  • Menu Options -> Preferences, in tab XMP metadata: drop-down list of the column Field name.

• List of actions:

  • Menu Library -> Library properties, in section Save actions, drop-down list of the column Formatter name.
  • Menu Quality -> Cleanup actions, in section Enable field formatters, drop-down list of the column Formatter name.

• Menu Library -> New entry..., drop-down list of ID type.

• Menu Options -> Preferences, in tab General, drop-down list of Language.
