Order of work items changes when moving story to new folder
I've hit something in the Plan Editor which is either a defect, or I'm doing something wrong. Perhaps someone can help.
I'm using RTC 2.0 with client 2.0.0.2. I have a story with several work items under the story ... when I'm in the Team Folder View of the Plan Editor and I move the story to another folder in the plan, sometimes the order of the tasks ends up getting reversed. For example: Story XYZ Task 1 Task 2 Task 3 ends up becoming Story XYZ Task 3 Task 2 Task 1 Has anyone noted this sort of behavior? Any way to get around it? Having "user defined" sorting in my Team Folder View is very important to me. Thanks |

I found a pattern to when this happens and have opened defect http://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=116847
For those that are interested, here's what I said in the defect report: When working with planned items I have seen the order of work items in a story change when they shouldn't. I've seen the order change in two types of cases, To reproduce them, start with a story like this: In the Team Folders view, create a story with two child tasks so it looks like this: Story 1 Task 1 Task 2 Case #1: If I move the story and it's two tasks to another folder, then it will appear in the other folder like this: Story 1 Task 2 Task 1 I found that this happens only if I select the items by selecting the second task and, holding the shift key, select the Story, then drag to the other folder. If I select the Story first, then the last task it works OK. A minor annoyance now that I understand it, but it took a lot of experimenting to figure out what was going on. Case #2: If I create a story as described above, then switch to another plan mode, for example "Work Breakdown", then order of the tasks is backwards as described in case #1.
