Here's another
http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Gadgets-API/web/ordering.png if it helps.

I'm curious to know a) how this problem came about and b) what order they are getting rendered in!? It seems arbitrary to me.

Here's the ordering specified in the gadget source (I've deliberately stripped lines to make this easier to read.

Cheers

<UserPref name="testSkin" default_value="" display_name="CSS file of test skin"/> <UserPref name="adSupported" display_name="Support Bonstio" default_value="1" datatype="enum"> <UserPref name="orderby" display_name="Order directory by" default_value="0" datatype="enum"> <UserPref name="directoryHeight" display_name="Directory height" default_value="235px" datatype="enum"> <UserPref name="maxSpace" display_name="Maximize space" default_value="0" datatype="enum"> <UserPref name="showAuthorUrls" default_value="true" datatype="bool" display_name="Show author links"/> <UserPref name="showUpdates" default_value="true" datatype="bool" display_name="Show update alerts"/> <UserPref name="showCreate" default_value="true" datatype="bool" display_name="Show create tab"/> <UserPref name="showSubmit" default_value="true" datatype="bool" display_name="Show submit tab"/> <UserPref name="showNews" default_value="true" datatype="bool" display_name="Show news tab"/>

I addedhttp://mytspportfolio.googlepages.com/mytspportfolio.xmlto iGoogle, but all UserPrefs are ordered correctly on my homepage (screenshot
below):http://daniel-feedback-gadgets.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/resource/user...

Can someone reply back with a screenshot as well? I'd like to see what it looks like.

Thanks, Dann

Hi Dann,

I am also not able to see the changes.. Not even if I use the same gadget that used for testing.. (The investmentMonitor one ..)

Hey everyone,

First, I apologize for the delayed in response regarding this bug. We do acknowledge this as a serious and blocking issue for many gadgets and have been working on a fix, which I believe has been released.

I re-tested the gadget below and confirmed that each UserPref is rendering in order once
again.http://investmentmonitor.googlecode.com/svn/releases/2.5.070409/quote...

Please let us know if you're still experiencing this issue.

Thanks for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience,

Dann

Could we have an update from the Googlers on this issue? As stated by Pamela and other above, we are getting loads of emails from users and also bad messages on comment boards because of this severe issue that has been ongoing for 12 days now.

Please, advise such as we can pass the information to our user.

Has anybody found any workaround to force the parameters to display in a set order? If we could find a workaround, this would be better than how things are right now.

Thanks,

Jerome

Same here, as I reported in a different thread (sorry about
that):http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Gadgets-API/browse_thread/threa...

This is a pretty severe issue, making many gadgets unusable for new users (too difficult to configure when the order of parameters is screwed up).

Hi,

Since two days ago theeditsettings form fields from my component are being show in a different order then the one that has been defined in the xml.

Look for example to this gadget (http:// investmentmonitor.googlecode.com/svn/releases/2.5.070409/ quoteInvestmentMonitor/quoteInvestmentMonitor.xml) , the first visible field should be the "Quote symbol", but when I add it to my igoogle page and I open theeditsettings form this field is the fifth one and the two first are "Chart provider" and "Specific day".
