I noticed this in the http://drupal.org/drupal-services block, but it seems to be in other places as well. Several nodes linked in the block seem to be listed at the bottom instead of in their expected alpha area.

Some spot checking confirmed that all the nodes have the "0" weight in the book outline hierarchy.

Also this does not seem to be related to the last-updated timestamp, either. It's a mystery.

Yep, I'm having the same issue. If anyone's found a solution to this, it would be greatly appreciated!

If you have more than 30 pages in one book, that may be your problem. The "weights" for book pages only go from -15 to +15, and as I've just created a book with 39 pages (a diary that runs from June through September), I now have this problem, and I'm digging around for a solution.

FWIW, I found the "solution" to my problem here:

How to order a Book with > 100 pages

For my case this is more of a hack than a solution, but it gets me through today. As mentioned, I'm creating a diary/journal named The Legend of the Squirrel, and I'd rather just have 40+ pages in one book, but for now, this works.

Queue cleanup:

The book pages that are showing at the bottom are all in lower case. Looks to me like capital letters are sorted first, lower case last.

Does this make it a feature request or a bug? Do we really want by default to sort A-Z before a-z?

I didn't mean to alter it from a bug report, my apologies. Though for redesgn I'd not think it's a bug. I'd presume since it's happening on d.o. and it's a bug it should be logged against core?

Changing title and project now. If this turns out to be unique to d.o, please change project back to webmasters or infrastructure queue.

moving to -dev. Though if this is a bug in core, it will have to be against D 7.x and backported?
