The articles in my categories keep changing order. They won't stay alphabetical, even when I manually resort them. Example:

Steps to Reproduce

Sort the articles. At some point in the next few days, the order changes randomly.

Operating System

Windows

Browser

Google Chrome

Related Entity

This shows up in both the Public Presentation and World Dashboard. It keeps happening regardless of if I sort them in the tree in the left sidebar or in the Article Management tab of the Category.

This is still occurring and is causing me to waste inordinate amounts of time re-ordering categories I've already ordered. Also, when I change the order, sometimes Athena will just randomly reset the order a few seconds later. All of this on top of the baffling lack of an auto-alphabetizing option is very, very frustrating.

Since we released a major update in categories at 29th of may, can you tell us if this is still happening to you?

No, I haven't seen it since the big update.
