Can anyone give me any advice as to what to look for?

Database is not being updated after dragging and dropping to resort.

Thanks,
John

Dragging and dropping the fields in the “sorting order” will not work if one of them is set as default, you would have to review them again.
I am not really sure what sort you are talking about and where you expect the sort to show up etc, a few more details and URLs and login would be handy.

It’s also not updating the sort_order field in the database.

Let’s get the clever guys.

It’s just not working in the group which I linked to. It was working before I added the last 10 fieldsets and fields if that leads to any hints or clues. There are now a total of 105 custom fields for this CPT. Could there be a limit set on the select?

I don’t know… Just wanted to point it out. Feel free to play with it and test. In the event it does start working, please re-order as they were.

far too many custom fields for your database to handle them and that’s a hard limit, there are a few things we could try to optimise it but it would likely only give you a few extra.

Stiofan’s suggestion is to try and reduce the number of custom fields by grouping everthing that you can group.

Let us know,

Thanks

I did bring this up an an early post () and now we’re here. 😉

Now seeing where I’m at as it relates to the link above I’m curious to get your thoughts?
