Data types represent properties of tickets which the administrator is
allowed to manipulate the list of possible choices for.
<p>A <?=tr('Bin')?> (discussed in the previous section) is an example of
a data type.
<p>Data types can be maintained by going to
<b><?=tr('Admin')?> -> <?=tr('Data Types')?></b> and choosing the appropriate
data type to edit.
<p>The '<?=tr('Order')?>' column can be used to control the order in which
items are listed. The first item in the list will be the default when
this data type appears in a select menu.</p>

<p class='error'>Once created, entries in the data types tables cannot
be destroyed</p>
<p>This is to insure that old data is not compromised by removing a data
type which is referenced elsewhere in the system.</p>
<p>Luckily, all is not lost. Disaster can be averted by renaming the
bin to something more useful or by unchecking the '<?=tr('Active')?>'
checkbox, which will prevent the bin from being used in the future.</p>

<p>The priority entries must all have a sort order. The orders should be
consecutive.
<p>Items which are inactive do not need a sort order, they will be ignored.
<p>If the priority colors do not seem to work right, always check the ordering
for the priority items.
