Attributes Shuffling around Randomly

Myself and a couple of my friends have finally gotten around to playing our tabletop games via Roll20 (An Elder Scrolls game based on the SPECIAL system from Fallout.) However, I noticed a strage bug, while not a serious issue, is rather annoying and inconvenient when I have 19 things in the attributes column for each character (Half of these things are gear-added bonuses.) I also have a wide range of Abilities for each. However, the root of my problem is such: While I have my Attributes ordered in such a fashion they are easy to keep track of at a glance, they seem to shuffle around randomly, appearing in random places I have not moved them to. At the moment, I am the only one with access to the session while I am preparing a campaign for my group. I do not know when it happens, because as stated it seems to be random. It generally happens when I make edits to a character sheet in the journal (With everything ordered correctly, I have checked this and made sure,) and save the sheet. At this point the sheet closes and the attributes are incorrectly placed when the sheet is opened back up. Any ideas would be appreciated as to what the problem might be (Or if I am accidently doing something wrong on my end.) I am a new user to Roll20, so I apologize if this is a problem with my editing. Thanks in advance.

If the sheets are clones there is a bug. It was supposed to have been fixed or so I thought.
They are indeed sheets made from duplicates of another character sheet (To avoid having to copy/paste several Ability macros, in addition to Attributes.) Looks like this was a bug, after all. Thanks for the reply!

Dillon, please send me a join link. This was supposed to be fixed a couple weeks ago. Note: I tried to replicate it and was unable to.  - Gauss

Ok, it appears that if you have a 10 or more Attribute or Ability entries a new entry will cause a bit of shuffling.  To replicate:  1) Add a new Journal 2) Add (a minimum of) 10 Abilities or Attributes.  3) Rename them normally (for this I just numbered them 1-10) 4) Move "1" down one space (to the 2nd slot).  5) Add a new entry (leave it as 'Untitled'). 6) Save. 7) Open up the Journal. Result: The new "Untitled" entry is now in the 2nd slot. "1" is back in the 1st slot. "2" is in the 6th slot. "6" is in the final (11th) slot.  Breaking up the steps via saving the journal does not have any impact.  Duplicate journals have the same behavior but this is not directly related to the original duplicate journal order issue.  I have posted a bug report. - Gauss
Gauss, I believe that the reordering has something to do with the order the “Attributes” or “Abilites” were created in... having made a successful progress save also affects whether entries will be shuffled or not; often, only “newer” entries will be shuffled into creation order, leaving the rest unscathed in their correctly saved locations. I sincerely suspect that creation order is significant to this ongoing problem. I used to get this when I edited both the “Attributes & Abilities” pane and the “Bio & Info” pane before a save. However, my players notice this on duplication of character sheets, which I could not have seen on my own.
This is fixed in the hotfix that will be pushed live later today. Thanks!
