[LON-CAPA-admin] Re: [LON-CAPA-users] Navigation Screen Sort

[Ray Batchelor]

I am currently getting reports from students in more than one course
that yesterday, and sometimes today, certain resources seem to be
missing from their homework folder.
Then later, they log in again and find them to be present.
I have no correlations with browser, server or locations yet....
