[EP-tech] Restored users do not sort properly

[Florian Heß]

Hello everyone,

After removing a number of users by accident using the EPrints 3.3.10 
API, I restored them from our backup via piping INSERT INTO `users` 
commands into mysql database. That worked, but when I navigate  to the 
list of all users in the web interface (Manage Records > Users) and 
click there on the username column, the list is reordered to whatever 
except by username. I tried the other columns, they fail to sort 
properly either. What did I miss?

- epadmin reorder $repo user
- epadmin recommit $repo user
- epadmin cleanup_cachemaps $repo
- epadmin reindex $repo user
- epadmin reorder $repo user
- epadmin rehash $repo user

All these were to no avail.

Now I would try reimporting all users with XML, but I hesitate because 
in the XML output file the password hashes are missing. How to include 
them? Had a glance into the sources and infered from 
EPrints::MetaField::Secret::to_sax() that --arg show_secrets=1 to the 
XML export would do, but apparently I was wrong:
"Plugin Export::XML does not accept argument show_secrets"

Appreciate your help very much!

Kind regards
Florian
