Keep order in multipleSelect

[Magnolia - User mailing list]

Hi all!
I'm a bit confused about this issue.

I'have extended the dialog

** info.magnolia.cms.gui.dialog.DialogMultipleSelect **

with a "brand new"

** info.magnolia.cms.gui.dialog.DialogSortedMultipleSelect **

I've also extended the "core" javascript class "DynamicTable.js" with 2
methods, see below (-*-)

A strange thing appens: when I save my entries they are saved as
DataNode, I can see them in JCR browser.
But when I load them, with dialog or with paragraph, entries are
"randomly" sorted everytime!

time1
------------------------------------------------------
myItem1     [change..] [delete] [move up] [move down]
myItem2     [change..] [delete] [move up] [move down]
myItem3     [change..] [delete] [move up] [move down]

time2
------------------------------------------------------
myItem2     [change..] [delete] [move up] [move down]
myItem1     [change..] [delete] [move up] [move down]
myItem3     [change..] [delete] [move up] [move down]

time2
------------------------------------------------------
myItem1     [change..] [delete] [move up] [move down]
myItem3     [change..] [delete] [move up] [move down]
myItem2     [change..] [delete] [move up] [move down]

..and so on, without regularities.

I'm wondering how can it be possible to add a sort mechanism that
respect the table order when user save it.

Can you help me??
