Module Order reset if lesson updated by Editor #7889
Description
Steps to Reproduce
- Go to a course and set a custom module order (via Course Layout block or Modules > Order Modules)
- Log in as a user with the Editor role
- Edit any lesson that belongs to that course
- Save the lesson
- Check the module order on the course - it has been reset to alphabetical order
What I Expected
The custom module order set by the administrator should be preserved when an Editor saves a lesson.
What Happened Instead
The module order for the course is reset to alphabetical order whenever a user with the Editor role saves a lesson belonging to that course. This happens regardless of whether the module order was set via the Course Layout block or the Modules > Order Modules interface.

Context / Source
- Reported via Zendesk ticket 10747791-zd-a8c
- Customer confirmed issue persists on a staging site with only Sensei LMS and Sensei Pro active, using Twenty Twenty theme (no plugin/theme conflicts)
- Issue was reproduced on two different websites
- Customer referenced previously closed issue Course Lesson order is changed whenever a single lesson is added or updated - Restore Lesson Order #3921 which describes similar behavior - this may be a regression of that bug
- I was able to reproduce the issue on a test site.
