My site is actually the link right below my name. However you will not find
any info on either of the two link regarding using a database and
server-side scripting, such as ASP, ASP.net, PHP, etc. for navigation.

Personally I do not use FP navigation components, since these are
design-time component, created when you save the page or images for links as
they must be created before hand, both method remove the ability to change
them on the fly.

I use database driven navigation mainly when I am generating most of a
site's content from a database, this allow for links to be turned off/on as
needed based on the availability of content or in cases where a user's login
determine what content they are entitled to access via a specific or common
link.

Di,

In all of my years of posting here, I don't recall any every having a issue
similar to your where the navigation structure order is changed.

You are publishing to a site with the FP extensions via FP's http mode,
correct?

If so, were you prompted to merge the navigation, and if so do you recall
which option you selected? The option where the navigation structure is
replaced, is the one that should always be selected.

To try and fix this, first run Tools | Recalculate Hyperlinks, then
publishing the complete site, overwriting all pages on the destination
server, then turnaround and republish with the Change Page Only option
selected.

If the above doesn't solve the problem, wait until morning for others to be
around who may have other suggestion/solutions.
