Re: Ordering of category combo options in section forms (Mobile browser and J2ME client)

 

Hi Jason,

I made a small test locally using your exact category names and it
seems to work just fine.

My guess is that you have loaded the form, then changed the category
order, then loaded the form again. The forms are persisted in the
browser localstorage and is refrehsed only when the data set has
changed, not the categories. So clearing browser cache completely
might help.

regards, Lars
