Yes, this is very easy to reproduce.

Is this still valid as I cant replicate it.

Can't repro

** Closed by sebastienros 09/26/2012 4:15PM

I was just able to reproduce with 1.6.

Why did you close that as not repro?

I could not repro, then Nick too, so closed.

I have this issue pretty much every time I try and set the placement order. It will take me 7-8 attempts to actually get the order to save in the correct order.

I am having same problems whenever I try to edit the placement.
Currently, I created a custom content type with 40 fields for a custom form, and I can not even change orders for sevral fields. I tried to set the placement info in the placement.info file using
<Match ContentType="FoundingCompany">

<Place Fields_Common_Text_Edit-S2ResidentialAddress="-"/>    

</Match>

and it looks like that the setting doesn't work. I wonder what I did wrong....

Will try again

Even better, give me a running website which repros it

For example, it happens if you have at least 3 fields of the same type and I guess it would be the same if you had many parts with the same position.
It works if you save and reorder multiple times because progressively it suffixes the positions with .5, but not at the first save.

Ex with 3 input fields,
All editor positions start with 2.4 :
Field1 = 2.4
Field2 = 2.4
Field3 = 2.4

If you want to sort them descending and after multiple tries to save, you manage to have :
Field3 = 2.4
Field2 = 2.4.5
Field1 = 2.4.5.5

Unable to follow it in debugger when you have more than 20 fields but I discovered that the settings column in DB, with a kind of xml placement file, is missing some of the fields fields of my custom type as for exemple captcha.

I'm running into the same issue on 1.6.

As a workaround, I've found that moving only one field at a time and saving each time is the easiest way to get the results I'm looking for.

Dear Orchard Masters,

I'm facing the same issue with Orchard 1.6 stable unfortunately ( with Theme "Responsive Theme Machine")
Description for reproduction:

1. Create new content part "Communication"
   Phone 1 (Media Picker Field)
   Phone 1 Description (Text Field)
   Phone 1 Number (Text Field)
   Phone 1 Languages (Text Field)
   

2.Create new content part "Address"
Country (Enumeration Field)
City (Text Field)
Name (Text Field)
District (Text Field)
Post Code (Text Field)
Street/other type (Text Field)
House Number (Text Field)
Building (Text Field)
Floor (Text Field)
Room (Text Field)
P.O. Box (Text Field)
P.O. Box City (Text Field)
P.O. Box Post Code (Text Field)
Time Zone (Enumeration Field)

1. Create Content Type: "Company" including the following content parts
   ​Common
   ​Address
   ​Autoroute
   ​Body
   ​Communication
   Navigation
   Publish Later
   Tags
   Title
   

After that push "Edit placement" button when editing Content type "Company".
When trying to change placement with Drag&drop, I could observe the following problems:

1. When moving more than one field without save operation, then the placement loses the order builded manually with drag&drop.
2. Not all my fields are shown on the edit placement page(tryed with firefox and chrome)
   

Please investigate this issue.
If you cannot reproduce the problem, I can provide you a test environment.
In case test environment is needed, then please tell me your requirements regarding the setup.

Thanks in Advance
Attila

YEAH I CAN REPRO !!!!

Fixed in changeset 45ebd482eb13

Thank you!
Solution after 30 min of reproduction of the issue, that's great :)!
I think you knew where to put the break-point :D.
Good bye & thanks again
Attila

Hi,

I merged your changes with the EditPlacement.cshtml on the server, and restarted it.
I could successfully use the Edit Placemet feature until I've added new fields to the Content Part "Communication "and started to reorganize them.
Here are the fields added and the operations I did below.

The fields added
Phone 2 Icon (Media Picker Field)
Phone 2 Description (Text Field)
Phone 2 Number (Text Field)
Phone 2 Languages (Text Field)
Phone 3 Icon (Media Picker Field)
Phone 3 Description (Text Field)
Phone 3 Number (Text Field)
Phone 3 Languages (Text Field)
Fax 1 Icon (Media Picker Field)
Fax 1 Descriptions (Text Field)
Fax 1 Number (Text Field)
Fax 2 Icon (Media Picker Field)
Fax 2 Description (Text Field)
Fax 2 Number (Text Field)
Email 1 Icon (Media Picker Field)
Email 1 Description (Text Field)
Email 1 Address (Text Field)
Email 1 Languages (Text Field)
Email 2 Icon (Media Picker Field)
Email 2 Description (Text Field)
Email 2 Address (Text Field)
Email 2 Languages (Text Field)
Email 3 Icon (Media Picker Field)
Email 3 Description (Text Field)
Email 3 Address (Text Field)
Email 3 Languages (Text Field)
Communication - Other (Text Field)

The Drag&Drops I did:
I started to Drag from bottom the fields added newly of Content Part "Communication" & Drop them to an upper position next after the existing
Phone 1 Languages (Text Field)
field, in the order you can see above.
That was working I could descrease their sequence number keeping the desired order.
After that I Dragged the content parts "Parts_Owner_Edit", "Parts_Tags_Edit" etc. and dragged them to the last position.
This was the first action where a part were moved not up but down. After each down move, I saved the Placement.
After that any reorganisation was unsuccessful(Up/Down), with Save after each move.
If you could, please tell me a workaround until this issue is solved, it would be great. If the sequence number is stored in the database in one of the tables regarding the Content types, please let me know which table/field cotains it. I would solve this issue first such way instead of using my own placment.info file.
If you could give me some hints/link, how to debug orchard on windows server, then I will gladly help you to investigate this issue(What I know is to switch in Web.Config the debugging on).
If the built in "Edit Placement" feature edits a placement information file on the file system, then please let me know where it is.
Thanks in advance.
