You've probably seen this Steve but the following info was posted by 'nisse' over on Axis history:



In 'Du gehörst dem Führer' p17 there is a reference which says that she was on the list of martyrs until 1934.

It is likely that she was removed because having her as a martyr didn't fit with the male-oriented nature of the NSDAP movement. I'm not sure on the leadership school. I have lists of the BDM Obergau leadership schools for 34 and 37 and there is no school with her name at that level.
 
No probs Steve. Here's a picture from the Bundesarchiv showing Erika Jordan's name on the list in 1933.

Our new member 'Nordhimmel' uploaded some nice books today and she is shown on this list (pic 3) of "Das junge Reich-Vom Leben und Wollen der neuen deutschen Jugend" from 1934
 
In the "Verordnungsblatt Reichsjugendführung der NSDAP", III/35 from Octobr 3, 1935 on page
4 staff-leader Lauterbacher published the list with the martyr's, after a new controlling and
checking!
Erika Jordan was no longer included. For what reason was not mentioned!
Maybe Garry can check if there is a later list that also includes Austrian martyr's as Thomas,
Ehgartner, Leistentritt or Ebner.



Admin Edit: the revised list is included in post #1 of the following thread from 2011:

Hello - I thought that these pages from Das Deutsche Mädel, issue 11, 1933 which is devoted to the November 9th martyrs and to others killed during the kampfzeit period might be of interest. There is a page on Erika Jordan and from the same issue a list of fallen HJ members, including Jordan.
