How can you ensure that the current value in a dropdown field is displayed at the top, with other values below it?

To ensure that the current value in a dropdown field is displayed at the top with other values below it, you can use PHP to reorder the dropdown options array. You can achieve this by first removing the current value from the array, then reinserting it at the beginning of the array. This way, when the dropdown field is rendered, the current value will be displayed at the top. 

<?php
// Current value in the dropdown field
$current_value = "current_value";

// Dropdown options array
$options = array("value1", "value2", "value3", "value4");

// Remove the current value from the array
$options = array_diff($options, array($current_value));

// Reinsert the current value at the beginning of the array
array_unshift($options, $current_value);

// Render the dropdown field
echo "<select>";
foreach($options as $option) {
    echo "<option value='$option'>$option</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
?>
