          • Environment:
            First noticed in Moodle v1.8, currently in v1.9.6. (Linux, Apache, mySQL)
          • Affected Branches:
            MOODLE_19_STABLE

            Description

            In Site Administration > Courses > Add/edit courses > (any category)

            The "Re-sort courses by name" button doesn't work in all categories. And when it doesn't work, I can't even sort the courses manually by using the up/down arrow icons.

            Relevant tidbits from forum discussion at http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=93618 :

            We've upgraded to v1.9.2 and the "Re-sort courses by name" button still doesn't work.

            • Only one of our instances is affected. Unfortunately, it's on our biggest production instance.
            • No error message, not even in php.log
            • It works only in categories where the course names are mostly-alphabetical
            • It fails in categories where the course names are in this format: "ENGL 1100: English Literature 1 (S10)". Are the digits or punctuation characters breaking the sort code?
