CmdBuild 3.0 sort order not saving, being lost

Configurations
#1

I have a table that I need sorting by a Datestamp field.

I keep editing the Class in the Administration module and sometimes it will keep the sort order, most of the time, the fields simply go blank as soon as you save it - the Class then defaults to Description sort order.

I managed to correct this once, then had to enable the Seconds setting for a Timestamp field and the sort order has again vanished and is unchangeable. No matter what I set it to, it reverts to blank.

Additional information:
If you add an extra sort field but leave it blank then save the Class, the changes are saved. However, making other changes to the Class seems to lose the setting again.

Are you using the version 3.0 of CMDBuild? I tryed recreating the error and for me this issue is not happening. Make sure that when you compile the informations for the sorting you click on the "+" symbol on the right of the sorting filer to add it, because writing the filter informations and clicking on save is not enough to actually save the sorting filter.

The issue is as you describe. you have to click +.
 
I don't recall being confused with this on 2.5, so I would recommend some sort of warning on the editor as it's not intuitive behavior to click + to add something when you have filled out the form.

Thanks for the feedback, we will take it in consideration for the future development of the interface.
