Email Report Entry/Exit Pages Sort Order #15176
Comments
Hi Thomas, Thanks for your review. I'm not sure specifically what defines a "usability" issue, but I would actually consider this simply a "bug". It's not that this table is not "user-friendly", it's that it is essentially unusable. It is showing the most popular pages, but not the most popular "entrance pages". So as a result, in one example I have 5 out of the top 7 results with less than 1,000 entrances, while the 8th has almost 115,000. That makes the data unreliable and not presentable. Thanks a lot. -Igor |
Marked it as a bug... @ibril15 Marked it as usability cause in the UI you can change the sorted column but this obviously doesn't work for scheduled report |
@tsteur A customer of mine has the same problem and cannot work meaningfully with the unsorted output in the reports. |
Hi @utrautmann it's not a SQL statement issue but it would likely require sorting after filtering actions. Something like the diff below but please note that's just more of a guess I didn't actually test it.

@tsteur Thank you. Unfortunately, it doesn't help. I patched the API.php but the sort order remains unsorted. |
Thanks for letting us know @utrautmann Looks like it also needs some other changes somewhere. |
I want to ask for the status of this bug issue. Another customer mentioned this problem. |
We've got it on our backlog. It's not currently at the top but we've discussed it with the design team a few times, also while having a look at other feature requests that relate to how tables work. |
Hello,
In Email Reports we are able to add Entry Pages and Exit Pages in a report (by URL and by Title). The ordering of these tables is not intuitive. As far as I can tell, the way it works is that it pulls a list of all pages in the time period sorted by number of visits, and then filters out anything that isn't an entry/exit page. That leaves a table with no apparent sort order since there are many frequently popular pages that are not common entry/exit pages.
The tables should be sorted by the data they're displaying: Entrances/Exits descending (in both, the case of displaying the tables by URL and by Title). Can you please confirm this behavior?
Thanks a lot.
-Igor
