Sarge enhances ExpressionEngine’s built-in Drop Down List field by giving you the capability to group your options into optgroups and specify the values for each option.

Check for Sarge updates?
Powered by LG Addon Updater, Sarge can call home and check to see if there’s a new update available.
Usage
All Sarge-related Drop-Down List field customization takes place within the Select Options textarea in the Edit Custom Field form.
Adding optgroups
Here’s an example of options being grouped into optgroups:
[optgroup] = Fruit
Apple
Orange
Mango
[/optgroup]
[optgroup] = Veggies
Bell Pepper
Carrot
Potato
[/optgroup]
That will produce:
Specifying an option’s value
By default, an option’s value is the same as its name. With Sarge, you can take control of that value:
Select a fruit =
Apple = apl
Orange = org
Mango = mgo
