SelectFieldWidget breaks sort order of lists

thanks for writing this up @fredvd.

this more or less summarizes my findings.

  • RelatedItemsFieldWidget works
  • SelectFieldWidget and AjaxSelectFieldWidget do not support ordering
    (when vocabularies, and - i think - also using sources)
  • AjaxSelectFieldWidget dose not work with searchable vocabulary
  • there is no documentation available how to write a custom source for AjaxSelectFieldWidget and people have unsolved problems in doing so

i also think that at least the training docs for different widgests should state what is supported and also mention limitations.

if there are plans/ideas how to improve this please add a link/summary here @pbauer / @alecpm.
if people know what a solution that has been agreed upon would look like, it is more likely they'll implement it.
thanks for your input
