- created · Kelly Swainston 3 Mar 2026 14:44Hi, we're seeing an issue with the Growth dashboard where the sorting doesn't seem to be working properly. When I try to sort by order date in descending order, the results are coming back in ascending order instead. Can you take a look? Thanks, Kelly.
- public_reply · Bethan Lister 3 Mar 2026 16:14Thanks, Kelly. Just so I've got this right - you're clicking the column header to sort, and it's doing the opposite of what you'd expect? Can you tell me which dashboard and which column you're sorting by? I'll have a look at the issue. Cheers, Bethan.
- public_reply · Kelly Swainston 5 Mar 2026 15:47It's the Orders dashboard, sorting by Order Date. I click descending and it shows ascending. It's happening consistently. Let me know what you find. Thanks, Kelly.
- public_reply · Bethan Lister 6 Mar 2026 16:12Found it! There's a bug in the sort logic where date fields are being reversed. I've logged this with the development team and they're working on a fix. Should be out in the next release, about a week from now. I can show you a workaround in the meantime if you'd like. Cheers, Bethan.
- public_reply · Kelly Swainston 9 Mar 2026 12:59Perfect, thanks for finding that so quickly. The workaround will work for us in the meantime. Appreciate it! Kelly.
