Hi all - I've been having a strange issue creep up lately and I'm hoping someone can assist. 
DotNetNuke Version: 04.08.02

The problem I'm having is when I apply modules to a specific pane, they won't stay in the right order when new pages are created. I've tried emptying the pane all together and dropping the new modules in from scratch. When I do this, they seem just fine (all pages pick them up, they stay in the right order, life is good, birds sing, beams of light emit from the heavens). That is, until I add a new page.

When I add a new page, the order of the modules changes, which is problematic since I'm selling ad space and my customers pay for specific locations. Note the left-side pane that starts wtih a "tell a friend" image, then has some ad banners, then has some text. 

You can see an example of the way it is supposed to be here:
Good - http://209.62.126.243/home.aspx
Good - http://209.62.126.243/Default.aspx?tabid=104
Good - http://209.62.126.243/Default.aspx?tabid=416
etc...

When I add new pages, the order changes. You can see it here:
Bad - http://209.62.126.243/Default.aspx?tabid=491
Bad - http://209.62.126.243/Default.aspx?tabid=492 

Can anyone explain how to fix this, so that the modules are truly sticky?

thanks so much for your help,
Rick

This happens when more than one module is vying for the same position. If two modules have been sent to the top of the pane on the source page then you can't predict which will be there on a copied page.

I haven't tested, but you can probably get around it by organising the source modules in a specific order.. e.g. send one to top, then another to top, then send that one cown once, then send another top top and then send it down twice, and so on until you've got them ordered in such a way that only the top one thinks it's at the top. Do all this with the action menu rather than dragging and dropping.

It's worth a try anyway.
