I am having trouble with the recent version of the Reorder extension. The one that uses the 4 icons via shards. The old, drag-and-drop version was working fine. Has anyone else noted this as an issue? When I try to move a page, it has unpredictable results. They don’t seem to properly relocate. ---

I encountered the same phenomenon before, having data incorrect. “position” has to be unique in a certain “parent\_id”. If you get no empty result executing following SQL(when you use MySQL), you should modify “position” data first. select \* from `pages` group by parent\_id,position having count(\*) \> 1; ---

Hi Naohiro, Actually, I preferred the former reorder extension with the drag and drop interface. I modified it to work with the shards extension. Mario ---

Ideally, when you run the included migration, it should put all pages in a default order based on the title. Unfortunately, there are serious weaknesses to acts\_as\_list that cause it to break when any records get inserted inconsistently. I’d appreciate any tests/patches that could identify and resolve this issue. Sean ---

I am not sure if I am stepping on anyone’s toes, but I got the old drag and drop version to work on 0.6.4 with shards. This way it plays nice with others, especially the copy\_move extension. Once I clean up the rake task, I can post a svn link if anyone is interested. Keith ---

Keith, I would be. Again, no offense to anyone, but I kinda liked the original one better anyways. Thanks man, – Travis B. Not sent from my iPhone. ---

I’m in the process of setting up my first Radiant system for end users who are not interested in learning how computer things work, so the smoother the interface the better! Thanks! Bill B. ---

Keith, I’m sure the community would appreciate it. In retrospect, my decision to overwrite the old one was a bit too tyrannical. At the time I was under the impression that 1) not many people were using it (which was not the case), and 2) it was not being maintained (which was the case). Cheers, Sean ---

Keith, did I miss the svn link or have you yet to post it? – Sincerely, Bjorn Michelsen ---

I attached it in the prior reply if anyone needs it. Looks like the attachment elf snatched it. I didn’t get any attachment, at least. Would you mind posting a link instead, please? – Sincerely, Bjorn Michelsen ---
