Publishing fails to apply reordered relations
Part of the theme “Reordered relations are not reliably applied” · 2 reports · see them all
1 source thread · first seen 2026-09
Summary
When a draft only changes the order of entries that remain connected in a many-relation field, publishing preserves their previous order instead of the draft order. Disconnecting and reconnecting an entry can make that entry move, but does not fix the others.
- Workaround
- Disconnect and reconnect an entry to make that entry move in the published relation.
