This may actually be a problem due to the way that the data elements
were sorted in DHIS 1.4. 1.4 allows you to specify both a sorting
order in the dataelement table, as well as the equivalent of the
datasetmembers table. A global (system) setting allows one to chose
how they should be displayed in lists. Our data elements were sorted
correctly according to the dataset,  but as far as I can tell,  DHIS2
does not support sorting of data elements by data set (at least there
is no field in datasetmembers that would support this)

On  the datasetsection page, the ordering that is presented to me, is
not in alphabetical order the SECOND time I enter the page. The first
time, everything is ordered alphabetically (user setting), the second
time around, the ordering is completely mixed up. I would expect it to
follow the user setting (alphabetical) but this does not seem to be
the case.

I agree that it should probably be a system setting, similar to DHIS1.4.
