Select2 - How to stop automatic sorting?

[moroshko]

Looks like when using multiple, the items are sorted automatically.
Is there a way to stop this?

I stumble upon the same issue, and after some test I'm thinking it's actually an issue in select2, and not in angular-ui.

When programmatically setting the select2 widget you can use select2.('val') or select2.('data').
As you can see here (http://jsfiddle.net/u7pYa/3/), select2.('val') does not preserve entry order, whereas select2.('data') does.

The select2 directive seems to use select2.('val') for multiple select. A fix could be to change that to select2.('data'), but I had no success with it so far...

It uses data if you pass an object instead of an idea. V0.4.0 may have some
fixes.

Where could I find the most updated code for 0.4.0? I can't see any branch or tag with 0.4.0.

[ProLoser]

I should probably start developing into a dedicated branch...
Right now all v0.4.0 changes are in master.

I have been poking around with this and it makes 0 sense why this should be occurring as angular and angularUI is not actually doing anything specifically to deal with data order. I will slate this fix for v0.4.1

[ProLoser]

AngularUI is currently undergoing a restructure. This project will no longer hold the codebase, can you please relocate this to https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-select2 (after confirming it's still necessary with the latest code)?

[nateabele]

This repo is discontinued. The project has been relocated here: https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-select2

Please reopen this issue there if it is still relevant.

I have the same problem of Select2 4.0.0
I dont know how to disable sort when I select the items. anyone have any ideas ?

[phamios]

<script type="text/javascript"> $("select").select2({ tags: true }); $("select").on("select2:select", function (evt) { var element = evt.params.data.element; var $element = $(element); $element.detach(); $(this).append($element); $(this).trigger("change"); }); </script>

I solved this problem :)

[phamios]

$("select").select2({

tags: true
});

$("select").on("select2:select", function (evt) {
var element = evt.params.data.element;
var $element = $(element);

$element.detach();
$(this).append($element);
$(this).trigger("change");
});
