User/Login engine, different behavior on different boxes?

I’m seeing different behavior from a development box and a production
box running the same code with the same data. Just as a simple
example, I added the below to the user controller to sort the user list:

def list
@content_columns = user_content_columns_to_display
@user_pages, @all_users = paginate :user, :per_page => 10, :order
=> ‘login’
end

This works fine in development, but doesn’t do anything in production.

I also noticed that at some point recently, I lost the ability as an
admin to modify other user accounts.

Does anybody have any insight? I have been digging around and haven’t
come up with anything.

Rails 1.1.6
fresh installs of engines, login engine and user engine

Thanks in advance,
