Fun with CF order (3.8)

Hi all,

We've slowly been adding custom fields as our installation has matured,
and I'm now trying to go back and tidy them up a bit but am running into
trouble.

1) Changing the order of custom fields doesn't seem to affect existing
tickets? (Even with logout/log-in, or cycling RT)

2) I had a custom field on several queues that has been superseded by
a global CF of the same name, but I cannot seem to unselect the queue-
specific version of the CF, which I am hoping would cause the field to heed
its global ordering. If I disable the Ticket-CF, the field does not display at
all in queues where the Ticket-CF was initially used...

A cursory search turned up nothing in the usual places, nor the CustomFields
table.

Jerrard,

I believe there is a fix either in recent RT or DBIx::SB. Heavily
depends on DB, RT and DBIx::SB versions combination, tricky SQL.

I'm running the latest SearchBuilder (1.56), a somewhat stale RT
(3.8.1, will upgrade to 3.8.6 after it's been out awhile) and unfortunately
my distribution's older MySQL (4.1.22)...

Problem persists in "3.8.6"; updated codebase, have not yet upgraded db.

I'm not sure I understand how it's configuration dependent though,
when the UI provides
a mechanism for explicitly dictating the order of custom fields.
