A lookup's display order is not unique

Table of Contents

This page is a capture in the inbox bucket of the product backlog — a pre-sprint idea, not yet pulled into a sprint as a story.

1. What

The refdata and IAM lookups carry display_order with a default of zero and no uniqueness. Two rows with the same order read in an undefined order. Add a unique index per list, or state a tie-break by code. The web screen sorts by order then code as a stopgap.

2. Why

Lists reorder themselves between reads when two rows share an order.
