Blocks moving around on their own

One issue with my website that I just have build (completely with a blocks structure) is that (and I can not describe when exactly) sometimes the block order gets rearranged, when I change the order on one device. To make it more understandable:

When on desktop I place the blocks to NAVI A B C D FOOTER
The elements are shuffled around in mobile A B NAVI C D FOOTER
I change something in mobile back to NAVI A B C D FOOTER
And desktop gets rearranged to NAVI A D B C FOOTER

Any explenation how to avoid that?

Layout blocks are intentionally sorted in the same order on all devices.

Hi @duncan and yes, I observed that, which is logical. But they reordered. Themselves differently by themselves as I switched the breakpoints. I even have put them in a certain order in the layer panel from top to bottom. Strange. Maybe I can recreate that and record it to showcase what I mean …

Thanks that would help

I’ve been experiencing this all the time I’ve been using Sparkl/Sitely. It’s been written about here many times. The only thing that really helps is to take a pencil and paper and write down the coordinates of each block. They’ll come in handy once you’re up and running, like when updating the site after a few months when you can’t remember the workflow anymore. It would be great if you could lock each resolution so that working in another doesn’t break it.

Not to say this isn’t happening…

I have just tried anything and everything with the Layout Blocks on desktop and mobile to see of I can replicate the disordering issue, and Sitely plays nicely for me.

I also introduced a Layout Block on mobile and it was in the correct order when I went back to desktop. I also shifted the blocks around on desktop and when I went back to mobile they also had shifted into the new order. I didn’t experience any discrepancies between the two devices.

I should add I’m running the latest Sitely 6 on macOS Sequoia.
