Sorting by status, unexpected results

[Peter Lloyd]

When sorting by status in either the List or Issues views some sorting happens but it's not what i expect... I have this behaviour on multiple sites/projects. What's going on?

Hi Peter

This is a symptom of using Team-managed projects. Technically, those projects are completely isolated from each other. So when you create a workflow for one project and use the In Progress status in that project, and then do the same in another Team-managed project, then those 2 are really two different statuses. Whereas in Company-managed projects, there would be only one In Progress status.

Hi @Peter Lloyd 

Can you share how looks your filter? In most cases this is happening when you have 'order by' in filter. Then if you will sort by status from JQL perspective it will be 'order by first_field asc/desc, Status asc'. So now Jira is ordering it by first_field and then inside first order, order by 2nd field.

Seba
