Local-then-key sort order not respected until docstrings toggled.

[ScottFreeCode]

I have set which-key-sort-order to which-key-local-then-key-order, but if I go into a buffer with local keymaps (e.g. M-x customize-option and, once an option is selected, C-c includes C-c C-c -> Custom-set) its local keys are still displayed in alphabetical position among global keys.

Unless I then hit C-h d, which sorts them as expected (local first). NOTE: if I C-g and then enter the prefix again, the docstrings are still on but the sorting is wrong again till I turn the docstrings back off with another C-h d: it isn't whether the docstrings are shown, it's whether they've been toggled. (Toggling them twice in a row without leaving the prefix, e.g. C-c C-h d C-h d, reverts to the original docstring setting while leaving the sort order fixed.)

Using Emacs 26.3, which-key 20191221.1857

I can provide screenshots if that would help; let me know if you need anything else to reproduce.

I'm not sure why C-h d is affecting anything here. That's apropos-documentation for me (and default)

[ScottFreeCode]

I meant the toggle-docstrings action in the paging menu, C-h d while in a prefix.

having trouble reproducing this. maybe it was fixed in recent changes?
