Getting similar issue. While Gear First addon is enabled transitioning zones, reloading UI, and relogging will throw this error. I did not get this error on first login though. Only after going from Dalaran to Searing Gorge via the in game portal for the Radiant Echoes event, then returning to Dalaran did the error first appear.

I got the similar error when I have multiple gear set categories in my bag

I guess there are some wrongs in the sorting method
so I simply add a if statement to the original codes in the main.lua file to fix the problem temporally

if (not(string.find(a.title:GetText(), L:G("Gear") .. ":") and string.find(b.title:GetText(), L:G("Gear") .. ":"))) then
    if string.find(a.title:GetText(), L:G("Gear") .. ":") then return true end
    if string.find(b.title:GetText(), L:G("Gear") .. ":") then return false end
end

not sure if there are other situations that also cause this error

Hi mates.
I was sadly not able to reproduce.
I added a fallback in the sort getter function to Alphabetical sort. Do you still have the lua error ? Is it falling back to alpha sort or does the latest BetterBags updates have fixed the issue completely ?

If you still have it, could you help me investigate by trying to find the use case in which you have the error ?

• Maybe a screenshot of your bag items when it's not blank so i can see all the section (item categories) you have to display.
• Trying to find the exact setting that making the error show up
