I'd like to select a result from a drop down menu that isn't based off it's contents.

So I want to be able to select the First, Second, Third result from a drop down menu that doesn't rely on it's contents.

This is because the results in the drop down menu are date based and I do not want to keep having to reset the dates in the tests.

Attached is the DOM view of the Drop-Down menu

If it requires a coded step please include instructions on how to integrate it into a test as a step, as I have really only been using recorded steps so far.
