Hey Alexander,

What field is this? Is this a dropdown field? These field options are normally unsorted and they are by default sorted by the id of each record.

It's a multi dropdown list

Mark how can find these ids, I really need to rearrange the list it's important for me.

Are they in the file somewhere?

Hey Alexander,

Hm, looks like I am wrong. They are actually sorted by the "ordering" column. By the way, you can actually re-order the field options as shown in my screen shot here, http://screencast.com/t/kBI4r6DPi

Hi Mark,

I just realised that the order is only broken in advanced search. In user profile the order is correct in the back end as the front end

Do you know what can be a problem?

Hey Alexander,

Hm, i can't seem to replicate this. See my screen shots below:

Hi guys,
I have spent all day trying to find out what breaks the order. The problem that i need to spend at least 40 mins copy-pasting line by line for each experiment. It seems to be that it goes fine till about 100 lines after that the order breaks. I can be wrong thought, is there a way i don't need to copy past line by line? If i can automate filling in the list i could probably find out what s wrong eventually

Hey Alexander,

Hm, I am not really sure what you mean by "line by line" but on my local instance, it works fine so if it isn't working for you, I need to troubleshoot this on your site

Hi

After some experiments I’ve realised that the multi drop down list titles and value go out of order after certain amount of information. In my opinion it happens after about 125 titles (values).
I thought it was formatting of text or national characters or something like that, but when I put simple digits 1, 2, 3,4,5,6 etc then after it’s saved and opened again for editing all the digits were randomly set.

The multi-dropdown list (to test on) is called “languages I'd like to learn” and located in custom fields – additional information tab.
But you can try any other dropdown menus in custom fields – additional information tab they all seem to be broken. Manual dragging doesn’t help.

Please see the screenshot from the advanced search page.

I have shared my details for you to have a look
Thank you very very much.

Hey Alexander,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as I was pretty occupied with huge development work on EasySocial 1.4. We have just released 1.3.30, could you try to update to the latest version and see if the problems persists?

Hey Mark

I'm sorry but it still exists in 1.3.30 Please have a look when you have time, i've added number 1.2.3.4.5 to another drop down menu and easysocial put them in the middles of the list Maybe there is a config file i can manually rearrange or replace the titiles/values? It seems to be the menu can't handle long lists, but of course i can be wrong.

Hey Alexander,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply, been really busy with the development of 1.4. I really have no idea how to reproduce this issue on your end. Take a look at my screen shots below:

Hi Mark

What do you mean by "reproducing" this issue on my end? I believe this issue doesn't need to be reproduced on my end because it already exists on my end. Can you please explain what i'm supposed to see on your screneeshots? Don't you see the problem there?
1, 8, 9, 7 6, 5 etc i used digits to show that whatever i put in the menu after "Mongolian" goes in the wrong order (i put them in order initially 1234567 then i saved it). I really need to fix that this is broken and it looks very stupid on the site., the point of having it on site is that the users can find themselves by using these parameters (language they speak and what to learn etc). I;m not asking you to fill in the list on all the languages but can somebody please have a look whey the menu behaves so strange. I know you are busy but maybe somebody else is available? I wish i could fix it myself but what do i need to do? Thank you

ps:

I ve made another menu with titles 1- 135.
the menu list is fine till number 126 then it goes to the different order 135, 134 etc. I thinks that a bug. what do you think?

Thank you very much Mark,

Does it mean that the problem was on my site or was it more like a bug in general?

Just wondering

Thanks again my friend

Hi Alexander,

I believe this is a bug in general and the fix will be included in the next release of easysocial.
