Sorting Items in v3.2.0.1 difficult

I 've just upgraded to FC 3.2.0.1 Release date: 2017-08-03.
I'm experiencing a couple of issues with the sorting of items by category.
1. Filtering by category also adds items that are secondary in the filtered category; / primary category is other than filtered.
2. Some items both new and or existing that are parented by the same category, show up in the filtered results, but are not available for sorting ( with or without a filtered category). This remains unchanged with more than one assigned category to said item.
3. The save button for sorting never goes away after performing a save; it remains the same with no indication of having done anything after clicking.

I attempted to roll back to 3.2.0b but the initial permissions would not clear and hold.

Hello

Filtering behaviour has not changed

1. Filtering by category also adds items that are secondary in the filtered category; / primary category is other than filtered.

This is done according to current view configuration
if in current category options or in menu "category options" listing of secondary items is enabled then it will behave like this

2. Some items both new and or existing that are parented by the same category, show up in the filtered results, but are not available for sorting ( with or without a filtered category). This remains unchanged with more than one assigned category to said item.

i am not sure what you mean with the above , e.g. what is "new" what is "existing" ?

show up in the filtered results, but are not available for sorting (

you mean v3.2.0-dev-build2 ?
about initial permissions we fixed an issue with Joomla 3.7.4, does not have the fix

Hello

forget my last answer

i thought you we re speaking of frontend

i see the picture you posted

you mean "setting the Order" of items

Hello

a bug was fixed with including subcategory items
- that is why you see the subcategory items !!

Go to filters and set the filtering option to exclude subcategory items !

(Also there is a warning message that suggests that you exclude subcategory items !, does not appear ?)

yes, setting the order of items

Hello

i checked and excluding sub-category items is automatic when you
- Sorted via ordering number column
- Selected a specific category

-- > so you only need to select a specific category in the category filter

Also when you click to sort via ordering column
- you get a message suggesting that you select a specific category

Hello

also do not be confused if item belong to multiple categories (and other categories are show in category column)

when you select a specific category
the ordering that you set is the ordering of the item inside the currently "selected" category

Hello

i see a bug

when item belong to multi-categories

the JS code that handles this can give it zero if the other category is its main category

it is a bug, and makes ordering problematic
i will make a fix tomorrow

Hello

I mean clicking save will give it correct order despite the fact that it show zero
but this is confusing / problematic

as said i will make a fix tomorrow

thanks for report

Regards

When I change the status of the secondary categories - filter, button, I toggle all of the secondary categories on or off.
What I am trying to describe is different. When I choose a category in the drop down, I should see items that have that category as their primary. I get those items AND I also get items that have a different primary category but, are also in the filtered category. This may or may not be affecting my ability to sort items in the selected category. ( see image)

A new item, is just that, a newly created item. Existing items were there before upgrading to new FC version.
