How to populate the italicised amendment note to ensure the location information is correctly updated which will ensure sorting the amendment will happen correctly in an amendment list: If the target amendment was a ‘page-line’ style amendment, the amendment to amendment’s italic text should be phrased something like: “As an amendment to the amendment in the name of Lord Purvis of Tweed to Clause 5, page 2, line 33, printed on sheet HL Bill 128(a)”. This will ensure the provision, page and line attributes in the location table (visible in the “Amendment Information” right-hand panel) will be updated correctly. If the target amendment was a new Clause amendment, the amendment to amendment’s italic text should be phrased something like: “As an amendment to the amendment in the name of Lord Purvis of Tweed to After Clause 2 printed on sheet HL Bill 128(a)”. This will ensure the provision attribute in the location table (visible in the “Amendment Information” right-hand panel) is updated correctly with “sec_2”. However you also need to manually update the Location attribute in the Location table on the ‘Amendment Information' right-hand panel. To do this, click on the empty cell and type “before” or “after” and wait a second for the amendment to be updated before saving your changes.
