How do I change the sort order of the issue list?

Last updated on Feb 19, 2026

Short Answer: Open the sort menu (label shows Recent or Severity (High → Low)) and pick the desired sort option.

PreRequisites

  1. Repository Issues page is open

Steps

  1. Locate the sort control on the right of the search/filter row (e.g., Recent or Severity (High → Low)).
    The sort control is visible next to the search box.

  2. Click the sort control to open available sort options.
    A dropdown of sort orders appears.

  3. Select the sort order you want (for example Severity (High → Low)).
    The issues table reorders accordingly.

  4. To revert, open the sort control again and choose a different option (e.g., Recent).
    The list order updates.

Troubleshooting

  1. List doesn’t reorder after selecting a sort.
    Likely Cause: Page is still loading or an active filter restricts visible rows.
    Action: Wait for loading to finish or clear filters; then refresh the page and try again.

Note: Available sort options are shown in the sort control — one example is Severity (High → Low).
