The issue you're experiencing—where the order of menu items set in the Reorder operation is not reflected in the ListOperation view—is a known behavior in Backpack. By default, the List operation sorts entries by the primary key (usually id), not by the nested set order (lft) used by the Reorder operation. This means that after reordering items, the List view will not automatically show them in the new order unless you explicitly tell it to do so.

Solution:
To make the ListOperation view reflect the order set in the Reorder operation, you need to add an order clause to your List operation setup, instructing it to order by the lft column. Here’s how you can do it:

protected function setupListOperation()
{
    CRUD::orderBy('lft');
}

This will ensure that the List view displays items in the same order as set by the Reorder operation. This approach is officially recommended by the Backpack maintainers and directly addresses the issue you described reorder operation questions.

Summary:

• The List view does not automatically reflect the Reorder operation's order.
• Add CRUD::orderBy('lft'); in your setupListOperation() to synchronize the order between Reorder and List views.

If you follow this, your menu items will appear in the correct order in both the Reorder and List views.
