Select * for multi-select options

onegun

i have a multi-select for a list of articles such as

'whatsnew_articles'=>array('type'=>'multi','options'=>$articles, 'value'=>$articles, 'sorting'=>TRUE),

now i want by default all values to be selected, that is all articles on the right column and leave the left column empty. but when i set the value as $articles like above, the multi select simply fail to appear

the reason why i want to do this is acutally i want to utilize the sorting ability of multi-select. that will save me time to implement a sorting for custom layout fields.

The value should be just an array of the values so try array_keys($articles) instead.

The template field type also has the ability to reorder:
