The MultiSelect displays initially selected items in the order in which the items occur in the data source. For example:

• The MultiSelect contains items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
• The user selects 4, 1, 3 in this order.
• The next time the user visits the MultiSelect page, the component will show 1, 3, 4 as selected.

In some scenarios it's important to preserve the original order of the selected items, so that it matches the users' personal preferences, perceived item importance or simply the selection history.

In the meantime, a possible workaround is to reorder the data source items, which are initially selected:
