Problem importing from cli

Hi

as I said elsewhere I'm working on importing records via command line

I'm using joomla cli framework and hacking around contollers/import.php

Good: At this point records are importing ok

Bad: After import I'm creating a problem that causes admin views to fail on a query.

This happens on views for section and type

and the error is in /admin/comp/models/sections.php and types.php

at the end of those models in function getListQuery is this snippet:

        $orderCol = $this->state->get ( 'list.ordering' );

        $orderDirn = $this->state->get ( 'list.direction' );

        $query->order ( $db->escape ( $orderCol . ' ' . $orderDirn ) );

        $query->group('a.id');

'list.ordering' and 'list.direction' arent set so query fails because no order by clause.

@sergey: still searching while I was typing this I found you posted here:
