Moving in formation

Just downloaded Marching Thru Georgia's' KS mod and noticed a small glitch with brigades moving forward and not staying in formation. They revert to the movement column automatically. I was reading they stay in formation with this Mod. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

There are two ways to order troops to move, using two different button sets on the toolbar. Under the MAN MARCHING icon, use of those buttons will cause the formation to advance in march column and redeploy when it reaches it's ordered position. By using the MAN SHOOTING icon button set, formations are maintained as brigades advance or retire.

Think of these two button sets as 'manouver/redeploy' orders and 'in combat' orders.
