Enum Display

Happy #BCFridayTips for #msdyn365bc Developers!

💡Did you know Enum values in AL are displayed based on their order in the code, not their ordinal?

For example:

Enum

This will display:
“ “, Apple, Banana, Fig, Grape, Cherry, Durian, Elderberry, Honeydew

👉 The ordinals don’t control display order, the code order does.

Why does this matter?

✅ You can rearrange values without renumbering the ordinals.
