I am having a problem trying to fix this situation. When I create a  
new model the migration starts at something like  
2086748394485\_create\_user.rb instead of 001\_create\_user.rb.

I have been searching for hours trying to find a reason for this.

Has anyone else had this problem.

Thanks for the help.

This is not a bug and the order is not incorrect, now rails uses  
timestamps to numerate migrations.
