Don't bother with the php thing...
Just look the data structure of the select...
Here what I do to restore proper order on update form :
controller_view_js += """
var ordered_values = ''%s'';
$(document).ready(function() {
if(ordered_values != "None") {
$.each(ordered_values, function(i, val) {
$("select[name=field_name]").append("<option
value=\'"+ordered_values[i]+"\'>"+
$("select[name=field_name]
option[value="+ordered_values[i]+"]").text()+"</option>");
});
$("select[name=field_name] option:selected").remove();
$.each(ordered_values, function(i, val) {
$("select[name=field_name]
option[value="+ordered_values[i]+"]").attr("selected", "selected");
});
};
});""" % [int(ID) for ID in ordered_values_query]
controller_view_js is a variable containing a piece of jquery that I pass
to the view from the controller... What it does put the options into the
proper order or how they were ordered at the input... All this is because
web2py don't use "ol" list out of the box... So I manage thing to not
require ol.
The ordered_values_query contain the value of the field field_name for the
given record...
I had to set a representation like this too :
represent=lambda values, row: ', '.join(map(lambda id:
db.ref_referenced_table(id).represent_field, values)) if values != [] or
None else T('N/A')
Hope it helps.
