Category order being reset when editing

Hi,

I've noticed that when saving changes to a category it looks like Perch is removing my own curated order and is reverting back to alphabetical.

Steps:

  1. Click 'reorder' in categories and update settings
  2. Open up a category and click save
  3. List view has reset to automatic ordering

Do you mean the order in the control panel, or the order on your site?

It appears to be happening to both - there's no sort-order being set in the front-end listing code:

<?php perch_categories([
'set'      => 'sectors',
'template' => 'sectors/sector_in_mosaic.html'
]); ?>

<?php perch_categories([
'set'      => 'sectors',
'template' => 'sectors/sector_in_carousel.html'
]); ?>
