So, we have a website where our products/services are sorted by node types (not using commerce) and are requested for a custom quote. The way we sort them is with Views, and the actual title is not necessarily a clear understanding of what the product is. We use a second field as a descriptor. So for instance, if the product name is Patrick, it's sorted with the field for what it's from (SpongeBob SquarePants). That's also the field we use to sort them by in the View, so all the SpongeBob SquarePants products are together, then sorted by title name. So when the title alone is displayed in the checkboxes, they are only seeing the character name and it's all in alpha order, so they aren't even by their grouped products...

The question is -- is there a way I can just manually edit the webform_references.node.inc file to simply add this second field to the display title name? That way it would display and sort the combined titles as:

SpongeBob SquarePants Patrick

Ok, so I see that there is a Views option to customize what is displayed rather than the Node Title or NID... so I created a view to display the title/field combo and sort exactly as I need, but when I go to 'select a view' on the webform field, there are no views in the drop down at all... Is there some other step to allow Views to be available in this drop down?

Is the view an Entity Reference View?
