# [Plugin: OptionTree] Options re-ordering

 * When reordering options in the Theme Options UI Builder panel, saving the re-
   ordered set truncates the list of options to the first 89 options or so. I have
   around 140 so laying out a PHP file will take me hours to say the least.
 * Regardless, the new UI is beautiful – very pretty work!

 * Someone else had this problem and I suspect it’s an issue with the DB limiting
   the characters allowed in an option in the wp_options table. Can you send an 
   export of your old 1.1.8.1 xml file to derek[at]valendesigns.com

 * Please check your mysql using phpMyAdmin or other means and see what the ‘option_value’
   field type in the ‘wp_options’ table is being set as. it should be ‘longtext’.

 * ‘option_value’ is correct and has no char limit set. I’ve sent the XML file, 
   but everything looks correct other than the order since adding a second round
   of options. THe file contains only ~100 options now and still has the same issues.
   I’m going to set-up the php file regardless, and may just go ahead and fast track
   that rather than wasting 20 minutes manually moving the order in the XML.
 * What I’m attempting to do (when you see the XML it’ll make sense) is to simply
   reorder the CTA and Latest Tweet options so they appear before the “Override 
   options for logged-in users” section. Easy enough in the XML file, but it would
   be fantastic to have it work in the option tree panel for adding more options
   in the future.
 * Thanks again,
    -Josh

 * Use 2.0.8 to build your UI and then export to theme-options.php which you can
   now include into the functions.php and it should solve all your issues. You can
   read more in the OptionTree->Documentation->Theme Mode section of the help docs.
