# 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.

---

## Settings involved

| **Setting** | **Where**                                 | **What it does** |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| Sort tabs   | Issue view > Markdown panel > sort button | \-               |

---

## A few things that catch people out

* The tab sort preference is stored on the issue, not on the user, so changing it changes the order for every viewer; write failures are ignored.
