We are having an issue with the sort order functionality where we have a parent node containing over 200 child items. We are trying to sort within the sort popup clicking the Create Date column. Upon completing sort order we are seeing duplicate sort order items appearing in the list and when viewing on the front-end the sort order is clearly not in the correct create date order.
I know that within the XSLT we can use @createDate instead of @sortOrder however we would like to know why the default CMS functionality is not working as it should?
I even tried updating the sort order manually within the database so that each item had a unique sort order however upon sorting duplicate sort orders re-appear.

Hi Graham
Could this perhaps be related to this issue http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-1792 ?
If it's an upgraded site where the path fixup patch has not been run (If it was required) that may be the reason why it's acting werid.
Hope this helps.
