Can I keep track of click order in a multi-select dropdown / enumlist?

Hi,

Is it possible to keep track of click order in a multi-select dropdown / enumlist? Perhaps by listening for click actions or some other approach?

For example, user clicks option 5, then option 3, then option 1 in the sorted list of elements in the enumlist which results in an array returned of [5, 3, 1]

I have seen posts about asking if there are drag and drop options for things in AppSheet but I don’t bleieve that has been developed yet so trying to figure out a way around that by keeping track of click order…

Not possible. I can almost conceive of a hack, but I suspect it wouldn’t work.

Thanks, Steve. I’m trying to think of one myself. I was thinking I could have a number of enum dropdowns that get shown dynamically as the user requests to select more options but this will have to have a finite set of fields I believe …

Curious: what would your hack be?

I went ahead and tried it and it worked! Sample app here.
