Something funky with this patch:

cck_noderefe…1.6_sort.patch

... first mentioned here (and mentioned nowhere else I can find on the Drupal site other than on this page):

http://drupal.org/comment/reply/70380/419951#comment-419951

... I keep getting this error:

patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.

... this is the first time I have attempted to apply a patch but having tried to research this, it seems there is an issue with an extra newline at the end of the file. The patch has "\ No newline at end of file" near the beginning of the file which from what I can understand so far should mean the diff program inserted that upon finding no new line at the end of the file-do I have that right?

There was a return at eof which I removed and ditto a space after the last "+". I also tried removing the last "+" to no avail, and tried adding a UNIX return at the end of the file... I still keep getting that error. Anybody got any comments or suggestions? I notice this patch does not show up anywhere on the Drupal site except this page-should I even be using it?

Thanks for any enlightenment.

This is not a patch, there is already an issue for the patch. And I'm not surprised it doesn't apply, it is very old and wasn't kept up so it probably wouldn't work even if you got it applied.

We'll have this feature in the D6 version, but it's hard to do in D5, so it may not go anywhere.
