Fixture Orders in Suite 2 release july 2013 are not saved

I create an (empty) switch from the Button menu on the Master Page.
I select (in a specific order) nine fixtures from the fixtures panel.
I drag the fixture (selection) to the EasyTime panel.
The fixtures appear in the Easytime panel in the order they were selected (great!).
I add a gradient effect of one second (linear, from black to white).
I copy the gradient effect and paste it (from second 1 to second 2).
I reverse the copy gradient effect.
Light goes up and down in two seconds, fading in and out from black to white, for all nine fixtures.
I save my work using the save button.
I close the window.
The window asks me to save everything (again?).
I confirm.
I execute the switch.
The selected fixtures respond with the pulse from black to white back to black in two seconds.
I add the phase dial to the switch.
When a phase is applied the phase effect is applied randomly. It seems the specific fixture order is not applied.
I click edit under the button menu for the same switch.
The fixture order is not anymore the order in which the easytime was created ( :-( )
The fixture order shown is the order in which the fixtures were patched (originally).
Whatever fixture order I choose from the edit menu of the effects, the fixture order is never adopted in the EasyTime panel. ( :-( )
Fixtures used are generic rgb and briteq/led/powerbank/arc1.d

Thx in advance,

Peter

Hi Peter

When you add a phasing dial to a button, it uses the pages fixture order because this is a live edit. To set a fixture order for the page:
-open the pages window
-right click the page and select fixture order
