Why don't filters load on Confluence by order?

[Bea Tea]

I've run into several instances where a filter I saved ordered by RANK is not displayed in this order in Confluence. Is there a way to force sorting on the Jira filter displayed on the page?

Hi @Bea Tea 

I would assume that you are working on Confluence server. If that's the case then this is a bug:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-39843

Vote and watch the above link to get updates. The good news is that within the above issue, there is a workaround to use this on your macro:

filter=FILTER_NUMBER ORDER BY rank DESC

You may also want to take a look at this thread which includes the original workaround:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Jira-Issues-Macro-not-honoring-filter-sort-order/qaq-p/252764

Let me know if this solved your problem.

EDIT: This works on cloud as well
