menu item order NOT being respected

[sarahwbs]

I'm building a site using Joomla 1.5.9. For some reason I cannot get it to respect the menu item ordering I set using the Menu Item Manager. I've tried using the up and down arrows in the Order column of the Menu Item Manager (and clicking Save Order at the end). I've also tried setting the order by editing each menu item and changing the Order in the Menu Item Edit screen. No matter what I do, the menu items are never sorted in the order they are in the Menu Item Manager.

Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong? Please someone tell me I'm not going to have to go back to the client and say "sorry, it's a problem with Joomla, nothing I can do about it"

Anyone?

I finally figured this out after much searching. It would seem this was a bug, which has been fixed in more recent versions of Joomla. The site I'm working on was at version 1.5.2 when we last updated Joomla, and I just updated it to 1.5.9 last week. The bug was fixed in between those versions, but the change didn't get applied automatically. To apply the fix, I created a dummy menu, moved the problematic menu items into it, then moved the menu items back from the dummy menu to the correct menu. This seems to have fixed the problem in all menus, not just the one I did this with.
