We
have come up on an irritating behavior on the page you get when you
click on the "show past answers" button on a problem page. This
behavior only happens if the problem has a large number of answers. As
an example, there is a linear algebra problem that has 18 answer blanks
to fill in, and if the order for the answers is #1, #2, ... ,#18 as
they appear in the problem, the answers appear on the "show past
answers" page in the order
#1, #10, #11, #12, ..., #18, then #2, #3, ... , #9,
i.e., you see the first answer, then the second half of correct answers
in order, followed by the rest of first half of correct answers in
order.
My interpretation is that there is some code that is intended to wrap the display in two rows as
#1, #2, #3, ... , #9,
#10, #11, #12, ..., #18,
but instead this somehow got flattened into one row with the intended
second row after the first entry. This makes it very difficult to check
on a student's past answers to see how they have gone wrong.
Has this been fixed in a recent version of webwork? We are using some point release of 2.1.
