[Archivesspace_Users_Group] reordering objects in resource records

Yes, just to reiterate what Allyson, Elliot, and Teresa have shared - this
happens at random but does not seem to be directly correlated (at least for
us) to actually dragging/dropping/moving components. A case in point: I've
been going through and adding access restriction notes to various
components within existing administrative collections. Last week I clicked
on several existing components in a resource record, added conditions
governing access notes to those components, saved the changes, and went
about the rest of my day. The following day I pulled up the resource to
answer a reference question and, lo and behold, it appeared as if someone
had dipped a giant wooden spoon into the cauldron that was the collection
and stirred all the components about in an infuriatingly nonsensical way to
make component soup of our previously well-ordered resource record.
Payten - Thanks for sharing this code, but just to confirm, have you tested
this fix against the scenario I describe (editing but not moving a
component)? I just want clarification since the description for your patch
("Patch for drag and drop causing record to lose position/parent") does not
align with the primary problem we are encountering. Again, thanks for your
hard work.
Chris - Do we have a timeline for this release? We are seeing many
benefits to our transition to ArchivesSpace, but this problem has been a
constant thorn in our sides since we first reported it in June. We had
hoped that 1.1.0 would resolve this issue (as we'd been told it would), but
we remain anxious for the day when we can rest assured that ArchivesSpace
gnomes won't enter our resources at night and scramble them all about.
Best,
Lora Davis
