How to release the sort feature for column header on JIRA Epic Dashboard.

[Jamie D Parker]

One of the column headers (Date 2) has the sort feature stuck and I can't get it to release.  So anytime I access my JIRA Epic Dashboard, all my Epics are sorted by Date 2 for some reason.  Anyone know how to fix this?

Hello @Jamie D Parker ,

Thanks for reaching out, and I would be happy to take a look to help narrow down what the issue is, but looking at this I have a question about where the issue is occurring.

Is this occurring in a gadget on a Jira dashboard and if so what gadget?  Or is this on a report like the "Epic Report" and if this is the case what report are you looking at?

One thing I could think of is if this is occurring on a dashboard gadget like a Filter Result gadget, could be in the saved filter used by the gadget if it is using an "ORDER BY 'date 2'" clause to force the sort operation.  Removing the preset sorting operation in the filter would change this behavior.

Regards,
Earl
