Amendment sorted in wrong location in an official list
The sort logic used when generating official lists relies on the location information for each amendment which is displayed in the Amendment Information right-hand panel (type, location, provision, page, line & sort code). Most of these are also visible on the Amendment Manager tab as well. If an auto-generated official list is showing an amendment in the wrong position, make sure you check and update the location information
Avoid just dragging the amendment to the correct location as that won’t fix the issue the next time a subsequent list is generated
Instructions
With the list open in the Editor…
Place your cursor in the amendment that is in the wrong position
Open up the Amendment Information right-hand panel
Check and update the location information as required e.g. adding or updating a sort code or removing the location information if not relevant to the amendment
Wait for the list to update and save your changes
Re-generate the list by selecting Tools > Update List from the upper tool bar menus
Update List will re-run the list generation logic which should result in your updated amendment being correctly sorted.
