sorting list of items with specific field on sales order item sublist NetSuite

I like to sort the list of items in the dropdown in the standard NetSuite sublist `item`. Let’s say items are sorted with the name when clicked on >> to open the dropdown list.

Is this possible to sort this list with any other fields, maybe a custom field on items record? let’s say I add a custom field on the item record (every item), which is some numbers.

displaying that list with the order by that field.

I have seen a way around to create a custom sublist of my own requirement and then hide the standard and show the custom on a specific record by customizing the form.
