Sort Variable list from Data Column

Is there a way to sort the list used as a dropdown when creating a variable with Request From User?
If I select Data Source: as Data Columns, I can select the column for the list, but I'd like to see that list in alphabetical order. Is there a way to do this?

Good question!

At this moment exist two ways to do this:

1. Create new datasource with sql query which returned sorted in right way items.
2. If this is not possible create new datasource - "DataSource from other Datasources". In this case you can resort items in right way.

Thank you.
