Page Reordering on a medium sized site causing lots of empty folders

[anthubbard]

Describe the bug I have a couple of medium sized websites that are having serious issues with page reordering - they only have 1 editor logging in and creating and reordering pages so its not the dual-editor issue. The issue is that when this 1 person has made a lot of changes to the website and then tries to reorder pages I get tons of duplicated but empty folders and it screws the pages tree up and I have to go and clean it up constantly. It's really annoying.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: It's actually hard to reproduce because it only seems to occur after the person has been working on the site a lot so I assume it's something to do with the cache or maybe JS or something. If I go and just reorder pages without making any changes it's fine.

Expected behavior The pages should reorder without creating lots of empty duplicate folders.

Not sure how to recreate and fix this in v2, but at least v3 won't have this issue :)
