Been a while since I did this but as CakePHP uses the id of each
record as the key I think I did
$array[0] => 'value';
ksort($array);
Should work as you can't have a primary key of 0 so it should always
sort to first, actually this would mess with an array sorted by a-z
values.
Ok, how about ..
I think I solved my problem referenced on this thread. The solution
proposed with the array_unshift scrambled the data inside the
dropdown. The names were still sorted properly, but the id number with
that name got resequenced. Apparently that is what array_unshift does
for you, according to the d
In case you miss the other thread: you need to call set() before
rendering the view because the view's copy of the variable is not
changed otherwise.

I understand. That is what I would like to do; have the first row be
'Please select...' so that the observeField 'sees' a change in the
field.
I am just not sure how to push an entry into element 0 of an array

As brian states you add the blank entry to the arrays that you pass
from the controller to the view.
So the $states, $counties and $cities arrays need to include the blank
'Please select ...' options as their first row.

Thank you Brian. Yes, that is what I would like to do. What would that
piece of code look like before the $this->render('/examples/
ajax_dropdown');?
Is it as simple as $counties = "Please select a ..." . $counties;? I'm
not sure how to insert the empty item at the beginning of the array

You have to add an empty item to the beginning of the array before
rendering the options. And I suggest you put the "Please select a ..."
text in a label or elsewhere and just leave the 1st option of each
select list empty.

After hours of research and trial and error, I must turn to the group
