Changing sort-order does not get published.

[bummzack]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add some content-blocks
2. Publish everything
3. Sort the blocks to a different order
4. Publish the page again

While step 3 creates the proper sort order in the Element table, it does not get propagated to Element_Live upon publishing the page.
Editing a single element and publishing it will properly update the sort order in the live table (but only for that element, all the others will still have the wrong value).

Hey @bummzack, ca you please provide the versions you're using? Thanks

[bummzack]

Yeah, sorry:
dnadesign/silverstripe-elemental: dev-master 49b8c14
silverstripe/elemental-blocks: dev-master cbfa21b
silverstripe/recipe-cms: 1.0.1

So basically the latest stable SS4 and both current master-branches of silverstripe-elemental and elemental-blocks.

Thanks!

Whoops no, turns out I can! (forgot to set the correct viewing stage!)

So looks like this is actually an issue with symbiote/silverstripe-gridfieldextensions and a small bug with SS4 silverstripe/versioned compatiblity.
It was fixed by symbiote/silverstripe-gridfieldextensions#243 - however this is only on the master branch, where as dnadesign/silverstripe-elemental will install ^3.1 - this is an issue because the current master branch will eventually be stabilised as a new 4.x line.

You can of course use this in the mean time, but we are looking to release a 3.2.0 of gridfieldextensions to get around this without a dependency major version bump.

You can update gridfieldextensions to 3.1.1 to get the fix for this https://github.com/symbiote/silverstripe-gridfieldextensions/releases/tag/3.1.1

Hey just letting you know I have the same problem. Sort order is ok in stage but not live.
In stage the order is correct : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 , but in the Element_Live table it shows as 1,2,2,3,3,4,5,5

silverstripe/recipe-cms - 4.5.0@stable
dnadesign/silverstripe-elemental - 4
symbiote/silverstripe-gridfieldextensions - 3.2

[sirjeff]

I tried dnadesign/silverstripe-elemental - 4.0 same problem, so I jumped to
dnadesign/silverstripe-elemental - 4.3
and now the order is saving correctly in Live. I had to change the order a few times before it kicked in though.
But "yah" it's working!

Hey @sirjeff I definitely recall this being a problem in previous versions of dnadesign/silverstripe-elemental 4.x but as you say it should be resolved now.
