[Javascript] select to input (rephrased)

[TomMallard]

You could redesign to use set the name or ID equal to it's db key value when
the options are added dynamically. That would get rid of the hidden fields.

As for sorting, sql makes it trivial with "order by"...any reason not to
change the stored procedure to handle the unsorted input using the key or
some index? I just can't see writing a sort for this knowing it's going to a
database...

processes is not the "common language" term that goes with it, so it needs
to populate the hidden input at the same time it populates the text input.
