Unit Converter Widget and Dashboard

Question

Hey
I went to check how much $25 was in US Dollars from Australian Dollars, and i saw that the US dollars had moved from the top of the list right to the bottom, and it no longer gave a accurate result, it said $1AUD was = to 1 cent. So i tried moving it out of the dashboard folder and putting it back (in a desperate attempt to make it work) So i deleted it hoping i could just get it back from either the leopard disk or the tiger disk but i couldn't find it using Pacifist. So now I'm stuck without it and was hoping someone out there could let me know why it stuffed up in the first place and where i can get it back from.
Thanks all who can help!

This happened to me too, so I went and had a look at the unit convertor code, and fixed it.
it's a pretty simple fix, you need to load up UnitConvertor.js from inside the widget bundle and find
function populateUnitSelect(select), inside of which there is a sort function units.sort, replace its lines with this:
units.sort(function (a, b) {
if (a.iso == "USD") return -1;
else if (b.iso == "USD") return 1;
else if (a.name < b.name) return -1;
else if (b.name < a.name) return 1;
return 0;
and it should work, It just ads an extra case for USD as b value.
