solver bug - evaluation of alternate resources at incorrect dates

Hello,

In attached example data I have two sales orders that are both going to be late. The one with higher priority is started as early as possible, but the second one is not. Any idea what am I doing wrong with modeling as there should be plenty of resources left?

Quick analysis: Switching resource to alternates isn't following the requested ask date.

What is the priority of this? I think this as quite severe bug since it's causing orders already being late to be even more late.

Ok, you could have just said that the enterprise edition is not suffering that bug and it's getting low priority. Not very good advertisement for your product.
