I’ve recently come across a frustrating (albeit minor) issue when uploading observations from the website. I usually upload many observations at once, add all of the relevant details and comments on the upload page, and then submit them - I presume many others also follow this same procedure. However, when I submit them and return to look at my observations, they are frequently not in the same order as I uploaded them. This is a relatively minor issue I know, but it’s frustrating because I used to rely on my observations being in order. I often make comments about other observations - e.g. if I upload several birds from a multi-species group, I might put in the observation notes of the first one something along the lines of “see my next few observations for the other species in this flock”. If that observation then is no longer the first one, the comment does not make sense. I’m not sure whether this has been an issue forever, but it has certainly seemed to happen more often recently. I know there are probably ways around this issue but I am hoping it would be easy enough to force the observations to upload in order.
Specific details on the most recent occurrence:
Here’s a mock-up of what my observations looked like just before they were submitted:
Note that the isopod is last.
After submission, however, the earwigs are last:
This is reflected in the observation number too, so it’s not just a display issue or something like that.
