"force" param doesn't work

[twiginteractive]

Hi -

Great little plugin extension to Chosen, even seems to work fine with latest version (1.7.0). Only issue I found is that despite setting the "force" param to true, I still get the error:

ChosenOrder::setSelectionOrder: ignoring option '1370' which is not selected. Set optional parameter "force" to 'true' to get the ordered selection forced first.

I've tried with a simple array of values - same result. Any ideas? I'm calling the setSelectionOrder( order, true ) call from the chosen:ready callback.

Hi @twiginteractive,

I've just tested out with Chosen 1.7.0, but I was unable to reproduce this issue.
Can you please tell me which flavor of Chosen you are using? I mean jQuery or Prototype? And which version of the framework?

Feel free to fork/edit this fiddle to reflect your problem: http://jsfiddle.net/y10od1rc/

You possibly have a race condition, which a setTimeout could solve:

$('#my-select').on('chosen:ready', function () {
    setTimeout(function () {
        $('#my-select').setSelectionOrder(['banane'], true);        
    }, 0);
});

Please tell me if that workaround works for you. ;-)
