Re: [binarycloud-dev] Still Something Rotten....

[Odysseas T. <ody...@ya...>]

But you were right that the rest of the code
isn't behaving the way it was supposed to :-)

I needed to add a ksort right before the end of the
IncludeModules function

        ksort($this->modules[$_group]);

Keep in mind that the the "example" layout that
index.php comes with is not following the
default order but it explicitly alters it.

Thanks for the bug,

odysseas
