 * Hi,
    Our client uses this plug in a lot and today he wanted to change the sorting
   option from last modified to name.When he hit Save Changes, a lot of extra blank
   fields appeared and some of them were selected to be displayed.The tables showed
   this now:”” function does not exist. “” function does not exist. “” function 
   does not exist. “” function does not exist. “” function does not exist. for those
   fields.I deselected them but I can’t remove the Ratings, Owner and Version from
   sorting anymore.Also I want to delete those extra blank fields: [http://prntscr.com/n7arti](http://prntscr.com/n7arti)

 * I think that everytime I save the settings it creates new empty sorting options:
 *     ```
       <tr>
           <td>
               <input type="hidden" name="mdocs-displayed-file-info[][key]" value="">
               <input type="hidden" name="mdocs-displayed-file-info[][slug]" value="">
               <input type="hidden" name="mdocs-displayed-file-info[][text]" value="">
               <input type="hidden" name="mdocs-displayed-file-info[][icon]" value="">
               <input type="hidden" name="mdocs-displayed-file-info[][color]" value="">

               <input type="hidden" name="mdocs-displayed-file-info[][is-form]" value="">

           </td>
           <td><input type="text" name="mdocs-displayed-file-info[][order]" value=""></td>
           <td><input type="text" name="mdocs-displayed-file-info[][width]" value=""></td>
           <td style="text-align: center;"><input type="checkbox" name="mdocs-displayed-file-info[][show]" value="1"></td>
           <!--
           <td style="text-align: center;"><input type="checkbox" name="mdocs-displayed-file-info[][form-data][show-in-form]" value="1"  /></td>
           <td style="text-align: center;"><input type="checkbox" name="mdocs-displayed-file-info[][form-data][disabled-in-form]" value="1"  /></td>
           <td><input type="text" name="mdocs-displayed-file-info[][form-data][deafult]" value="" /></td>
           -->
       </tr>

   settings remained unchanged.

 * Goto mDocs dashboard > Restore to Default > keep “Keep all files, post, and categories.”
   checked and press the Restore to Default.
 * This will keep your file structure and files but will restore all setting to 
   factory defaults.
 * Once complete head back to setting and see if the problem is still there.

 * I’m experiencing the same issue – now have hundreds of blank columns as it duplicates
   them each time I try to save. Latest version of mDocs plugin and have done the“
   Restore to Default” (keeping files/posts/categories) and same result…
 * Any help appreciated – thanks!
