I think there is a bug. This happened to me multiple times yesterday. Unfortunately, I'm under a deadline of late next week, so I won't be able to get back to determine specific set of actions where this occurs. Here's what I did yesterday.
In Field Manager, first I moved several of the fields from "Additional Information" into "Contact Info" tab. Also added a few new fields to "Cotnact Info", some text and some delimiter, maybe a checkbox.
Created two new tabs: host and facilitator.
Defined fields for both these tabs. As I was creating fields for these new tabs, occasionally, I forgot to reset the tab setting, and had to go back in to change this.
As these new fields were created, not just one, but after a few, or maybe after moving one out of the wrong "Contact Info" tab, I notice that the ordering I had established in the "Contact Info" tab was messed up. So I re-ordered them, and then continued to add more fields, only to see the ordering lost again.
So, I stopped re-ordering until I thought I was done adding new fields. Then, as I went to re-order, there were over 10 out of 18 fields on Contact Info that were assigned position '0' (zero).
This really appears to be a bug. Thought you might want to look into it. Please post a request if you'd like me to recreate it, when I have time in early August.
I'm running J! 1.5.3 Native mode, and CB 1.2 RC2
