Menu Ordering seems to have stopped working

Hi,

So normally when an item is added to the website it recieves a unique menu number. What ive noticed recently is every item is being uploaded and assigned menu number 0. This essentially means that the ordering is now alphebetical on my website. I much prefered it when each new item was assigned a new number as before it meant that my new items were always shown first on the menu (each new item was 1, which bumped 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and so on) but now it shows just alphabetically ( i.e if every item is 0 then it orders by alphabet). I realise you can sort by time uploaded but i dont want to have to tell a customer to order it themselves. And more to the point it worked better for my system of organisation because if i wanted to move things around I could make certain items lower numbers than others etc… but if theyre all 0 then i cant order them this way?

It was all so seamless before but what has happened? what have i done wrong and what can I do? I just want it to go back to when each new item was assigned 1 and it pushed the old 1 to 2, 2 to 3… dont want them all to be 0.

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks,

Otis
