[Archivesspace_Users_Group] [External] Issue with Reorder Mode?

[Paul Sutherland]

Hi Angela,

I'm not sure from your description if it's the exact same issue, but
there's an active ticket for a fix to the reorder mode here
<https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-1779>. People are reporting
that the test space seems to be working, so please take a look and confirm
if it's the case.

Best,
Paul
