Someone else changed the tab order for everyone on an issue

What you are seeing

Someone else changed the tab order for everyone on an issue.


#Why it happens

The sort preference is stored on the issue, not on the user, so it is shared by all viewers of that issue.


#What to do

Set it back if you prefer another order. And expect it to change again if a colleague flips it.

What it does

Sort tabs

Issue view > Markdown panel > sort button

Switches the tabs between newest first and A to Z. Its tooltip says which order is in use.


#A few things that catch people out

  • The sort button is hidden on narrow screens, so someone on a small window cannot change the order back.

  • Each issue keeps its own order; changing it on one issue does not affect others.



Found it? Good.
