• No clue what happened, but I have not made any modifications whatsoever to my installation in months including plugins, settings, files. I log back in often though, and yesterday I noticed the pages list area is sorted randomly instead of the usual, forever default sorting ascending by page title. I keep clicking “title” in the title row to resort properly, and it keeps reverting back every time I refresh, go to another page, return, etc.

    How can I go about troubleshooting this further?

    Verion: 6.1.1

  • Are you sure that nothing has changed in your installation for months? The fact that you are using WordPress 6.1.1 alone indicates that you have made at least one WordPress update since December. Are plugin and theme updates also applied automatically?

    Test the behavior in a private browser window. If it is as you expect, it is probably due to cookies in your actual browser window.

    If it doesn’t change, deactivate all plugins as a test.

    I have the same issue on every single WordPress website I manage (dozens of sites), regardless of plugins, hosting, browser, etc. It started some time after the new year, presumably after a WordPress update. It is time-consuming because I have to manually click to sort the pages (and posts and projects, as well) every time I leave and come back to those screens. Very frustrating.
