Repeating Fields Madness is Back!

The problem with repeating fields mentioned here:&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2735314/repeatin" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2735314/repeatin</a>... is back. It was corrected before, and without any intervention on my part, the fields were sorted once more correctly. But now, when adding one row, all rows became shuffled. It is NOT that the row only went above a few other rows, but a complete shuffle. They were not sorted by creation date anymore. When the problem was solved last time, when I checked in the debugger, the rows had once more returned to 1,2,3,4, etc... in creation order. But now, here is what it looks like after just creating a new row. The new row created is:&nbsp;-K6yaCF0KdQHdFx8I73U but as you can see above it, the lines which were at the bottom (the -K5... lines) are now just under row 0, row 1 moved under row 6, and rows 2 and 7 moved to the bottom. Again, I must insist that last time it was corrected, I did not have to delete any rows for the order to be restored, the rows just moved back to the right order by themselves. This is an extremely simple sheet, with no sheet workers, no API scripts, almost no auto-calculating fields. You can see it at:&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/campaignsettings/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/campaignsettings/</a>... It is exactly the same problem that occurred December 19 and had been corrected the same day. Please fix this soon, I was once again about to update 12 characters sheets for a big game coming on Sunday and now it's impossible to change anything without completely f**ing everything up on the sheet.&nbsp;
IMPORTANT DISCOVERY: It seems that the problem is browser related. In fact, it may never have been fixed: when I thought and reported it was fixed, I may have just checked in a different browser. I'm on Mac OS X&nbsp;10.10.5 (14F1021). On Firefox and Safari, there is no reshuffling and the rows always stay ordered by creation time. On Chrome&nbsp;Version 46.0.2490.80 (64-bit) (Mac), however, the rows reshuffle each time a new item is created. It does not simply move the row above other rows, it just randomly reshuffles them. Then it keeps that disorder even if the browser is closed and restarted. However, if I check the same sheet in Safari or Firefox, the rows are in perfect order.
Also, I completely reset Chrome to default settings, updated it, disabled extensions and reset all flags. It does not remove the problem. Now that I have a workaround by using Firefox or Safari, I'll be OK for my game tomorrow.

Hi, Mike. Browser shouldn't make a difference. Is it possible for you to try hard clearing your cache and reloading in the javascript to see if that makes a difference.
Steve, Unfortunately Browser does make a difference. Even after a hard clear of the cache and reload, even after erasing all rows and starting over. The same character sheet shows fields in a random order in Chrome and in the right order (creation order) in Firefox and Safari. Very simple sheet, no script workers. Mike

Ok, thanks for the update Mike. Can you give me an example URL to a game or test case that we can see?
Hi Steve, URL:&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/391892/fo" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/391892/fo</a>... I duplicated a character sheet where the problem was happening. It's at the top of the handouts section, labeled Test Case. Look at the spell section, although the problem is there for all sections. Without doing anything to it even, if I look at that sheet in Chrome and then in Firefox/Safari, I get different results. On Chrome&nbsp;Version 46.0.2490.80 (64-bit) on Mac OS X&nbsp;10.10.5 (14F1021) On Firefox or Safari: New sheets don't have that problem, it seems after inspection, but all sheets that have rows with the previous id system have problems, but only in Chrome. So, I suppose there would be a workaround by redoing all my sheets in both my campaigns from scratch, but that's a lot of work, especially considering that the problem is NOT there in Firefox/Safari. I'm hoping that with that simple test case you can more easily find out what the problem is and why it only occurs on Chrome. It may help others with more complex sheets.
