Hi team, is there way to sort metrics by name easily in result page? I notice that when you add metrics by tag, it's added by creation date of the metrics, not by its name, which is naturally quite undesired sort order. And if we have a lot of metrics, it's hard to just drag metrics in the config UI. And there's no way to order metrics inside same tag. The management just becomes harder and harder when more metrics are added to the tag. I tried the "Filter by tag" feature and somehow it doesnt sort metrics within same tag either. Thanks!

You can sort by name or any of the columns on the metrics listing
on the results page - oh - you can sort the list
by dragging - but not just order it by name
metrics are tagged to data sources, identifiers and projects - so if your experiment is in a different data source, identifier, or project than that metric won't show up.

Yes the problem is to automatically sort them by names.
• If I add them by tags in metric config page, they're added in batch in the oder...of their own creation date? • And if I view them in metric page, there's simply no sorting at all to use. I can drag things but dragging is a bit messy when you have a lot of metrics....and there's further UI bug related to that.

ah, I see
oh really? I'd love to hear about that bug

the only management option doesnt really do sorting within each tag, so not very helpful either. Why is sorting by name missing here?
f
ordering by metrics added by tag - ya, that sounds important.

If you drag one metric in this page, the pre-dragging label will float in old place until you refresh the page. like this

okay, I'll open a github issue for this
