Enhancement request: reverse sort order of Status dropdown

Post by mushu »

Under "View Issues", the "Hide Status" item shows a list of all available statuses. When you select one to display the tickets, the text has "And Above" added to the end of the status you selected. That text should say "And Below" in order to match the display of the dropdown form item display. This is because when you select one of those statuses, the resulting display shows everything in the statuses that are visually "above" the one you selected in the dropdown list, not below it. I suppose in some cases of having a small browser window size that dropdown will actually drop UP but the list will still show in the wrong direction for that descriptive text, and thus will still be wrong. It was very confusing to me when I selected our "Testing" status and expected to see every ticket in Testing AND ABOVE IT in the dropdown list that I selected from to be hidden (per the text "And Above" that was added)...and yet what was actually hidden was every status BELOW the one I selected from the dropdown.
