How do I change the field that orders the attributes?

As you can see, STRUCT_TYP has the same value for each attribute. I would like to change it to STRUCT_ID.

Is this possible using ArcMap?

I've tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas.

On the Properties tab for the layer, go to the Display tab. Use the dropdown under Display Expression to set the field to Struct_ID. Then save that option. If you don't want to have to do this every time you add the feature to a map, save the layer to an lyr file and add the data using that lyr file. Or, add it to a template map if you use those. Unfortunately, ArcMap will pick the first text field usually, often a bad choice, if you don't tell it otherwise.
