Powerapps will not save the app

I have tried this several times, but sometimes when developing an app, Powerapps suddenly stops autosaving. 

 

Then when you try to go in and press save, it just keeps saying 'Saving...' like in the picture below.

When pressing save as or save to computer it does the same. Even when trying to close the app without saving changes it just bugs out. 

 

The change I tried to make in the app was a sort order on a gallery where I went from this: 

SortByColumns(Filter('datasource', Name = GalleryNames.Selected.Result) , "Name", Ascending)

To this: 

SortByColumns(Filter('datasource', Name = GalleryNames.Selected.Result) , "SortOrder", Ascending)

 

When I press enter, and you expect the sorting of the gallery to change, it only changes going to another page and back again. So it seems like the changes to the gallery does not kick in. And sometimes it will not even validate the code written, and it just turns black in the gallery, and I will have to force close the app and reopen it. 

And after this it wont let me save. 

 

I've tried this before when adding something, and sometimes it seems like there is one tiny bit of code PowerApps is unhappy with, and if I delete this it will happily save. But this is an app which has been developed over a long period of time, and I have no idea what the particular code that makes it unhappy might be. 

 

I've tried like in some other suggestions to open it in IE, but it still wont save when the changes has been made. 

 

I hope someone can help see what might be the problem, or what the fix for this could be.
