Can't sort articles in "Articles & Worlds" or in the new "World Manager"

Description

Hi World Anvil team,
Ever since we got the new design change for Articles & Worlds, I have not been able to properly sort my articles.

Normally I sort all my Articles alphabetically under each folder/group like below.


However, every time I create a new Article with the Articles & Worlds, it will sort all of them by creation date instead, like below.


I thought this was just an initial error and decided to wait it out a bit, since their was a lot of problems reported around launch of the new design. However, it has now been 4 months and we got the "World Management" feature, so I have tried again, both with the Articles created around the launch 4 months ago, as well as with a new Article created today, the problem remains the same in both cases.


Now, I am not ruling out that I missed something and I am doing this the wrong way, so what I am trying to do is, either dragging Articles in "Articles & World" view, or dragging Articles in the "World Management" like below.


Every time I try any of these methods, the Articles is moved for roughly 5-10 seconds and are then reverted back. A red triangle with an exclamation mark is shown in the bottom left corner, instead of the green circle , but no other error messages are shown.

I would appreciate if you can tell me what I am doing wrong, in case I go about this the wrong way. Or is able to fix it in case it is a bug, as it starts to become difficult to locate Articles, when they are randomly sorted in the different folders/groups.

I primary work on my World Anvil worlds from my Windows 11 PC running the Microsoft Edge browser, however I have also tested it from Mozilla Firefox, and the problem is exactly the same.
Let me know if you need more from me, or if I should test something.

Kind regards
Martin

Hi Syarx
I don't know what you did, but today I was able to successfully move/sort my Articles, which I could not do before.

No more red triagles, and auto-reverts after 10 seconds. Very nice..!
Thank you very much for whatever you changed.. :o)

Kind regards
Martin
