I am new to RT and am very impressed with it.  Thanks Jesse & the community!

I'm not a programmer, and I'm not sure how useful this post will be.  My 
apologies if it's inappropriate for some reason.

I've searched through the mailing list archives & have Googled & can't find a 
patch or solution for custom fields sorting out of order when displayed in 
ticket or transaction (comment) pages.  I've seen some posts regarding 
DBIx::SearchBuilder and possibly Oracle, but can't seem to find anything that 
applies to PostgreSQL, and am not even sure this is related.

Problem:
Custom Fields seemed to display fine when first set up.  Then, after modifying 
them, they display with a different sort order than originally set up.  The 
sort fields in the tables did not change.

Odd Workaround:
After searching unsuccessfully for a solution, I fiddled around with it some 
and found that appears to be sorting them based on when the custom fields were 
last updated.  So, I tried manually editing the lastupdated fields in the 
tables to get a different sort order, with no effect at all.  However, if I use 
the web interface to edit each field in the order I want them to appear on the 
display, it works fine, and appears to work consistently.  So, if I have to 
change or add a custom field, after I'm done, I just go in and edit each custom 
field _in the order I want them to display_, by adding or removing a period (.) 
at the end of each custom field's description field, and it puts them back in 
the desired order in the display.

If there is a patch or update I'm missing, or one is coming, I would appreciate 
a reply post.  Otherwise, I hope this helps isolate this issue for a 
resolution, or at least helps someone else deal with this for now.

Running:
- CentOS 4.4
- latest RT from head
- PostgreSQL 8.2
- Perl 5.8.5
- DBIx::SearchBuilder 1.48
