When a page is expanded in Radiant Admin, it should be expanded the  
next time you come back to the pages tab.

In my installations (several of them) this doesn’t happen: the whole  
hierarchy is collapsed every time you come back to the pages tab.

Any idea why this might be happening?

Thanks,  
Ryan

Are you using the “reorder” extension? I was experiencing the same issue  
you are describing, and this patch seemed to fix it:

It might have been coincidence and something else I did at the same time  
fixed it. Its worth trying though 🙂

Thanks David, that was it!

So, that patch ([http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/attachment/ticket/](http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/attachment/ticket/)  
505/index.rhtml.diff) needs to be applied to the Reorder extension  
(app/views/admin/page/index.rhtml).
