Ticket: Multi select resets order

Status	Resolved

found a bug in Bloqs… When editing a bloq field, the Bloqs multi select lets you drag the order in which you’d like the bloqs to appear. However, the order that was set is reversed on save (and each consecutive save) of the field.

Steps:

scroll down to the Bloqs where you can see the selected items

change nothing, just hit save

scroll down to see the order reversed.

Can you provide a video of the issue?

Sure! Note the position of the Bloqs, particular position #1, upon save.

This changes the order on the ‘Edit Entry’ screen as well.

I consider this a pretty minor bug, and honestly not sure if it is a bug. I’ll have to look through the code changes to see what the intent was here. Thanks for pointing it out though.

Paul Larson

When I posted it, I thought (mistakenly) that it was also changing the presented order of the fields to the user/editor working on the Entry.

I’m not sure that’s actually the case, though. Just FYI!

BoldMinded (Brian)

When you’re using components and groups, the sorting prioritization changes. So that multi-select list isn’t going to 100% reflect what is displayed in the menu on the publish page. Groups take priority over un-grouped, and groups have their own display order.

I might have a fix for this in Bloqs 5. Going to go ahead and close this ticket though.
