[Request] FAQ answer about the sidebar ordering not working

[tcurdt]

What were you doing?

I am trying have the filament manager below the state on the left. (see FAQ)

What did you expect to happen?

I modified the config.yaml according to the FAQ

...
appearance:
  components:
    order:
      sidebar:
      - connection
      - state
      - plugin_filementmanager
      tab:
      - temperature
...

and then I restarted the service. (Shouldn't there als be the file section in the sidebar config?)

What happened instead?

Unfortunately the order has not changed.

Link to gcode file

Link to contents of Javascript console in the browser

Further information

I have read the FAQ and provided all required information.

I'm using the exact same snippet without problems. If you have issues with OctoPrint itself then this is the wrong place to ask.

Shouldn't there als be the file section in the sidebar config?

If you don't add a component to the list it will be appended at the end.

@malnvenshorn FWIW: "works for me" has never been a very helpful attitude in the context of resolving issues. As an open source developer I understand where you are coming from but since you added the FAQ entry you kind of opened that box (or rather can of worms?). It's usually a good idea to at least point people into the right direction.

Yes a agree the "works for me" usually sucks. But in the FAQ entry you can also find a link to the OctoPrint documentation where I got the information. The snippet is correct and works. If you have issues it's a problem with OctoPrint and not related to this plugin. Therefore you should ask in the OctoPrint forum or open a ticket on OctoPrints' bug tracker.
