New Post: Sort Cascading Drop Down Parent Column by ID

that makes sense.

but, shoot. still no luck. i'll keep trying.
i've tried placing the FILTER function above and below the cascade function -- makes no difference.

$().SPServices.SPFilterDropdown({
relationshipList: "WorkPhase",
relationshipListColumn: "Title",
relationshipListSortColumn: "ID",
columnName: "Work Phase",
debug:true
});

$(document).ready(function() {
$().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns({

relationshipList: "DocumentAttributes_List",
relationshipListParentColumn: "WorkPhaseLU",
relationshipListChildColumn: "Title",
parentColumn: "Work Phase",
childColumn: "Resource Type",
debug: true

});
});

thanks for your help :)
