    You'd need to change its position and set flex-direction to reverse, I'm not near my computer so I can't give details.

    Thank you dlorre. set position and flex did not realize. I thing should use uss, like ".unity-base-popup-field__text" or ".unity-base-popup-field__arrow" to change, but I can't find the uss selectors.

    Look in the toolkit debugger when the popup is open, actually it is a sibling to the UI Document, you will see it at the very bottom of the list. Tweak it with debugger then you'll find which classes to change.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your question. The menu that pops up when using a DropdownField is actually an OS-driven menu, so you cannot modify its direction. It will automatically adjust per OS, with the direction being up->down by default.

    Customizing the DropdownField is something that we are working on, but there's no ETA on when the update will drop. In the meantime, if this is something that is crucial to you, you could recreate your own dropdown menu using other Controls in UIToolkit.

    Hope this helps!
