Default Combo Boxes

If the combobox row source is not a query but is a table then change the ros
source to a query of the table and set the sort order of the query.

If the row source is a Value list, you have edit the row source to list the
items in the desired order.

On point 2 once again, if you are talking about the order in the items
appear in the drop down list, open the Row Source Query in design view again
and select sort Ascending for option one???
