Sort by target date not working

[Harsha Vardhan]

I guess the sort by date is not considering dates in the directory views. Any one facing similar issues?

Could anyone confirm this. If you see the screenshort Jun 2025 is appearing before 15 Jan 2024

Where are you seeing this?  What JQL are you using?

Sorting in the list of goals.

HI @Harsha Vardhan -- This seems to be a bug.  I can reproduce this issue in my site, too.

The specific issue is Atlas will sort the Month-based target dates apart from all the others.  In your screenshot, we can see all the month-based dates first and all the day-based dates second.  In my site, I tested with quarter-, month- and day-based target dates.  Again, all the month-based dates were sorted first, and the quarter and day-based dates were correctly sorted together next.

This will need to be reported to Atlassian.

I have exactly the same problem. A workaround is to export the listing to a CSV. That's works fine. Export the list of goals with the correct order.
