sorting question

How do I remove the sort by ascending/descending in tabs like vulnerability protection profile and in URL categories, I recently accidentally activated these features and they are quite annoying.

previously the Custom URL category allow/block list was in a chronological order of when I added them to the list, now they are in alphabetical order and if I press the arrow next to the sites column it will change the sort from alphabetical A -->Z to Z-->A, I would like it just to return to normal chronological order, also in the vulnerability profile, I accidentally clicked the sort ascending filter when searching for a specific signature to make an exception and now it automatically sorts the column I click on either ascending or descending depending on what mode is currently active.

I could not find a similar support document on how to turn off the sort feature, is there any way to just return it to the normal non-sorted way?

Hi @MattJakacki ,

I'm not sure it is possible. In my experience the list will get sorted to whichever way the arrow is pointed. I've only noticed the list chronological when Im adding entries to the list. Once I click ok, it automatically sorts.

That's what I assumed, originally when I set up my new 7500 FWs (and the previous 7050s FW before I accidentally clicked the sort button there too) the custom URL categories lists were chronological in the order I added them to the list, same with created/modified exceptions in the vulnerability profile, they weren't by default sorted by thread ID (or whatever column I chose to sort on) but by the order in which I created the exception and was hoping there was a way to undo the sorting.

Hi @MattJakacki

I just saw what you talking about. I tried to delete the browser data (cookies, cache) but the sorting was still there. When I created the url list again (click onnew and then import the list again) I had back the chronological sort order
