Table column sorting in edit mode has disappeared

Question

During the past year and months I was able to randomly enter data in tables and then use a sorting functionality in edit mode which made that the data was nicely ordered when in view mode.

Today I wanted to use the functionality again because I had to add new data to an existing table, but I was surprised to see that the sorting option in edit mode is not mentioned in the menu anymore.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

@[deleted]The menu you are showing is for the Cell options, as indicated by the tooltip. For the column options, you now need to click the little lozenge at the top of the column:

Hello Dan, thank you for your welcome and reply. It's not related to my issue. I don't use any macro's. There was a sorting option in the column options (see image), but it has disappeared as you can see.

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-28787 here is proof that the functionality did exist.

Hi @[deleted]welcome to the community.  I could be wrong, but I found CONFCLOUD-73756 on Atlassian's Jira site.  This sounds like your issue.  I would suggest voting for and watching that issue for updates.

There are some other similar issues if you wanted to search for yourself.

If I'm off basis, you could also check with Atlassian Support for their input.

Hope that helps.
