I created a form using DynamicForms and one of the options is to pull in a list of droplist items by running an SQL command.  To get the list of states to appear in my State droplist I ran the following SQL query.  

select Text as QuestionOption, Text as QuestionOptionValue from Lists where ListName= 'Region'

It pulls all the states perfectly.  The problem is I added a new value to the States List (--Select One--).  Instead of appearing at the top of the list it appears alphabetically under Rhode Island.  I want to move it to the top.  Any ideas?

select '< Select Region >' as RegionName
,null as RegionCode
UNION
select Text
,Value
from Lists
where ListName = 'Region'
order by RegionName

Something like that - put it in the SQL

the Order by isn't part of the select statement but is an operation that runs after the records have been selected. So you only include it once, at the end of the union.

The '<' will sort as preceding alpha values, and so this will appear at the top of the list.
