Any idea why the Sub-Forums does not show in the correct order?:

This feature works perfect:

Apologies for taking so long to respond.

The answer is no - I have no idea why you are seeing this and we have not had it reported before and I do know we have many users with some heavy usage of sub-forums.

But clearly it does look like a sorting issue so I think the first thing I have to do is open a bug report and then look closely at the code to see if i can see a reason for it.

So rest assured  - that will happen and hopefully I will find the reason and be able to correct it.

Sadly - assuming we find something - it will not get into our 5.4.0 release which will probably go out today. But if it is something simple I can probably give you a code fix to save waiting for 5.4.1...

Although funding the cause is clearly the first thing on the agenda.

If you manage to find a solution and it's a simple fix, I would very much appreciate if you could post the new code here.

we will...  but needs research first since thus far, its a one off report...  Assume you are running sp 5.4 or at least 5.3.4 since 5.4 was just released??

I am running version 5.3.4 and have created my own theme. Assume I have to use this guide for updating, right.?

http://codex.simple-press.com/.....p-to-date/

Could it solve the issue perhaps?

well, that page is slightly dated... still good info, but since we put up that page we added a detailed list of changes per version to help keep updated if needed... generally, very little is needed...

the change pages are at:  http://codex.simple-press.com/.....n/changes/

nothing in your theme will have affected the subforum ordering...  but there were some changes that would but I believe you have them in 5.3.4...  of course, wouldnt hurt to move to 5.4 (but needs wp 3.8) either...

as said earlier, research needed as its still a singular report...

At the moment I can see no reason for this display behaviour. The ordering looks correctly structured in the code so I am a little stumped.

Is it possible - and if so would you be willing - to let me have a copy of your sfforums database table so that I can take a close look at the actual data which might be the only way I can replicate this?

Okay. Yes for sure, could you please set up a quick "how to" guide, so I will provide you with the right info.

There is something totally wrong hmm...If I choose "Edit forum" and "Position after xxxxx", it will just show up at some random position. I am totally lost, it worked so well in the beginning and I really can't think of why this is happening now :/
