I can't find the option to sort answers in a drop down to be in alphabetically order.

There is no built-in facility to do that. Why not sort the answer options before loading them?

New answer options will be added as new suppliers come on board.

Add something like this to the source of the question:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){ // Identify this question var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}'); // Create an array of dropdown option text values var optionTexts = []; $('select.form-control:eq(0) option', thisQuestion).each(function(i) { if($(this).val() != '') { optionTexts.push($.trim($(this).text())); } }); // Sort the array optionTexts.sort(function (a, b) { return a.toLowerCase().localeCompare(b.toLowerCase()); }); //Loop through the option texts and insert the corresponding drop-down options $.each(optionTexts, function(key, val) { $('select.form-control:eq(0) option', thisQuestion).filter(function() { return $.trim($(this).text()).toLowerCase() == val.toLowerCase(); }).appendTo($('select.form-control:eq(0)', thisQuestion)); }); }); </script>
