This issue is not reproducible on master, only on 7.1.x. This is not a publishing issue as the problem is happening before publishing happens. Discovered while working on LPS-60134 to improve publishing.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new site called test
2. Create a public page under this site called p1
3. Create 3 child pages under p1 called p11, p12, p13
4. Confirm you can reorder the pages and the order of the pages are stored even after page refresh
5. Enable local staging
6. On the Staging site try to reorder the pages (p11, p12, p13)
7. Refresh the page - the order will be kept the same

Expected behavior: pages can be reordered and the changes are stored.
