This was occurring on all topics, not just QnA ones. We have a ‘Questions’ category when all topics are QnA, and also have the ‘question’ tag to make a topic QnA.
The behavior is slightly different now though, before the sort order they were given fixed them at the bottom of the list, now they are still out of order, but newer posts are below them.
Thanks @AJDurant.
One of our clients experienced this issue, so I was able to take a closer look at a dataset where it was occuring. I believe one issue here might be the when topics where a QA tag is removed are handled.
I’ve started a PR that addresses this issue, which @mbcahyono and I will work on
https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-question-answer/pull/38
The way to fix the issue for a specific topic is:
./launcher enter app
rails c
topic = Topic.find(<topic_id>)
topic.posts.each { |p| p.update_columns(sort_order: p.post_number) }
If anyone needs any more hands on help addressing this issue on their server please reach out to me privately and I can help you address it (no charge).
Sorry for not responding sooner. I’ve been traveling this week. I can confirm your code above is fixing the individual posts with issues.
I also confirmed that running the following command does NOT fix the problem
rake "posts:reorder_posts[1234]"
Is there a way to run this across all posts - basically loop over all posts?
And you’ve just run rake posts:reorder_posts by itself and it doesn’t work? Please try that again first.
If that doesn’t work you can run this
./launcher enter app
rails c
Post.update_all("sort_order = post_number")
We have figured out what the issue is. It was introduced back in August. We’ll push a fix for it shortly, with a test for the case.

I ran the above command and got the following error

I did not run the second command once I saw the duplicate key error thinking that might be a larger issue.
That looks like an issue with your db that’s independent of this, but blocking a fix here. I’ll pm you shortly and we can debug that seperately.
Thanks @angus that all seems to be working correctly now

Sorry for the issue. Working on it, waiting to be merged:
https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-question-answer/pull/39
Cool, I’m excited to see this merged and look forward to the fix. Happy Holidays.
What is the role of the “QnA one-to-many format.” setting that can be found in category settings?
It’s a deprecated feature, which we’ll be removing from the QnA Plugin in the near future. That feature now has it’s own dedicated plugin
How do you remove your vote? In options, there is a configuration of how much time you have to undo the vote, but I don’t see a way how to actually do that.
Are there any good examples of this plugin in use in the wild? I’d love to see it in action!
Select the yellow “Undo your upvote” text - see screenshot below.
I noticed a few feedback items:
qa trust level vote limits admin setting is deselected by default, but I still get an error “You cannot exceed the number of votes for your trust level” which doesn’t maek sense? 
That’s OK by design or there is a bug in my theme?
Thanks!
Can we recover the normal order of posts uninstalling the plugin?
I see that previous reported bug really messy our conversations 
Yes there seems to be a conflict between this plugin and the Solved Plugin, i.e. the “Solution” element in your screenshot. This plugin does not yet offiically support the Solved Plugin.
Yes, you just need to disable the plugin in a category in which its enabled and the posts will go back to their normal order.
¡Gracias por este plugin! Una pregunta, ¿qué pasa con el contenido si se elimina el plugin? Está claro que los votos y la clasificación especial de las respuestas desaparecerán, pero ¿qué pasaría con las “respuestas” y los “comentarios” de cada respuesta? ¿Se quedarán o desaparecerán?
Mi razón para preguntar es que hemos comenzado a usar este plugin para construir una guía de usuario colaborativa. Tener comentarios para cada respuesta es muy conveniente. Los votos también son prometedores, pero ¿qué pasa si vienen con consecuencias no deseadas y queremos deshacernos de ellos? Sería una pena perder la guía porque queremos eliminar los votos.
En el peor de los casos, supongo que podríamos eliminar la interfaz de usuario de votos a través de CSS, manteniendo el plugin allí.
Gran pregunta.
Los comentarios y las respuestas son solo publicaciones que aparecen en un orden diferente. Se conservarán.
Si desea desinstalar el complemento, simplemente desmarque “Hacer que todos los temas de esta categoría sean QnA” en la configuración de la categoría. Esto revertirá todas las publicaciones a su orden original.
Por ejemplo, acabo de revertir la categoría QnA en try.thepavilion.io a su orden estándar (es decir, cronológico (volverá a cambiar en 24 horas).
Ok, saber esto es alentador. Probaremos el plugin y, si los votos no cumplen su misión, tendremos dos opciones para eliminarlos: la ligera a través de CSS y la pesada deshabilitando el plugin. Sin pérdida de contenido. ¡Gran adaptación de los componentes principales de Discourse!
Por cierto, por si tienes curiosidad, estamos usando tu plugin para crear una guía de video colaborativa de un producto, donde se invita a las personas a enlazar videos que la gente ha creado sobre aspectos de este producto. Hemos personalizado un par de etiquetas para que funcione. Ver Bitwig Video Guide - Bitwish (acabamos de empezar, así que está mayormente vacío; además, la mayoría de las subcategorías están silenciadas y por eso parece más vacío para los usuarios anónimos).
