  • Pick Lists -
    • Inactive Values - A new 'Inactive' flag has been added to Pick List Values.  This can be used for any values that you do not want to show as an option in a list.  If a record is using this value, when you go to that record and try to change it, the inactive value will show as a lighter gray and will not be selectable to encourage you to change it.  This new option should be used instead of the deletion of picklist values or the updating of internal values. 
    • Sort Order - By Default, all pick lists are sorted alphabetically by external value.  IF you want to change this order, you can add a value here.  Lists would then be sorted by sort order, and then alphabetically by external value (if more than one with the same value)
