We do, but with any luck I can start getting back on them now I'm a lot more settled in and have no plans to go out for the next couple of days :)

I'll be busy tomorrow -- will be at the premiere for Saint Seiya Omega. :) So I probably won't be available after 3pm until later in the night. I'll try to work on some of the bugs tomorrow morning though.
It's still broken but I have no idea why - the category codepath uses the same codepath as the boards one but it's still out of order.
Also, I think there might be a problem if the category is collapsed but you still try going to the category page itself, you'll just get that category header on its own without any way to uncollapse it.
Well, the problem is as my first post - if you look at the Public Area category's boards on the main board index, they're in a different order to when you view them in the category itself.
It's right everywhere *except* the category specific page.

Btw, I've locally fixed the issue regarding categories being hidden and collapsed at the same time.
Well, yes and no. The symptoms of misordering are indeed an SMF bug - and applying the changes fixes where they occur in SMF. But the category specific listing is not an SMF feature and that's the part that's broken.
Considering that clicking on a category in the linktree (which is AFAIK the only way to access a category page) is not something people will do 70 times a day, I added the ordering to the category listing...
I'm not sure why it does the sorting naturally if b.id_board isn't tested against, but it doesn't really matter. It's not going to make the forum any slower anyway...
Not only that, but any given category is unlikely to have tons of boards in it. So, a filesort on.... a dozen entries at best? It's not going to kill performance, is it...?
