Description Gale Andrews 2012-02-05 13:51:07 UTC

Once saved, the wrong order persists unchanged until you add another field, which further changes the order.

Comment 1 Peter Sampson 2018-08-12 06:19:45 UTC

Testing on W10 with audacity-2.3.0-alpha-83

This now works properly with no change of the additional metadata order for

a) reopening metadata editor

b) restoring the saved template

The user's original ordering is preserved
