I just noticed that my items have completely rearranged themselves into random shop sections!

Yes, if you refresh the batch sorting page after adding items or changing sections, it’ll move everything off by 1. If you re-submit the page, however, once it’s fully updated, everything should right itself again.

Sounds like since this bug isn’t well-known, several people have gone back through and re-sorted everything by hand. Don’t! Try this first.
EDIT by Soap:
To refresh the batch sorting page, go back to this url:
http://www.etsy.com/sections_batch.php
The first time you do a batch sort there will be other characters appended after “.php”

I had this happen to me once. All I can say is it is not fun at all. :(
If you refresh your page and see that it is jumbled up,, DO NOT save the changes. Click on “Sections” and “Sort all your items…” and it should fix itself.

This issue (as well as others) gets posted semi-regularly in the fora. I wish there were a simple “help” search by topic for people to read how they should perform routine site functions.

I’d never seen it before, but then again, I look a lot closer at the Bugs section now, because of the UEN.

They need to FIX it… there’s no reason refreshing the page should cause such a bizarre problem…
