Sorting options in an entity reference Select list within a form When I change the input method for an entity reference field from an Autocomplete widget for a Select widget of an admin-side form, I have noticed there are no sorting options available under "Manage form display" and the Select widget is by default sorted by entity ID.

Is there a way to sort the entities in that Select widget by another field (in my case 'title')? I saw a note about this, but that pertains to drupal 7 (and my entity type is custom and not a node extension).
To enable this functionality in Drupal 8,


Add a view for your entity type.
Create an Entity Reference view display with a field and sort option (See comment from @saramm1 above).
Edit the Field Settings for the entity reference field and change the "Reference Type" to use a view.
