    Document Type property order

    Hi,

    I have an existing Document Type with two properties : Prop1 and Prop2. There are existing nodes on my site that use that document type.

    I now need to modify that document type by adding a new property to it : "NewProp". I have no problem adding it to the document type, but I would like for the new property to appear before Prop1 and Prop2 in the edit form. I can set the order in the document type without any problems : 

    When I edit or create content using that document type though, the properties are not in the right order. NewProp should appear before Prop1 but doesn't : 

    This is the case for new or existing content.

    I peeked in the database and looked at the cmsPropertyType table and the sortOrder for my properties are OK (newProp = 1, Prop1 = 2, Prop2 = 3) and yet they still appear in the wrong order.

    What am I doing wrong? Using Umbraco 6.1.5

    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Hugo

    I assume that you did remember to hit the "Save" icon when you added the new property, right? (Just checking - I have forgot to hit it more than once ;-)).

    Do you see any messages in the console log of your browser when trying to change the order of the properties?

    Hi Jan and thanks for your reply.

    Yes I did click the save button. And when I go back to the "Generic Properties" tab for the document type, the order is saved correctly (and persists after a page change). It really only is when I edit content that the order is not respected.

    There are no messages in the console and I can reproduce on 2 separate installs (on my dev instance and on the production instance) and with different document types.

    Some extra information : if I create a new tab in the document type and put the properties there, I can then re-order them as I wish and the order is respected when I create content. I only see the problem with the order when the properties are in the defautl "Properties" tab.

    Hi Hugo

    Could it be an option trying to upgrade to 6.1.6 and see if that fixes the issue? Seems like a bug that I think may have been fixed in this release.

    Hope this helps.

    /Jan

    OK thanks. Upgrading was definitely in our plan and it will happen fairly soon. The bug I describe is not a showstopper (or not enough for us to upgrade right this second) but I will update this thread once I do upgrade.

    Thanks for your help
