How is the order of multiple portals decided?

๐Ÿ’ป Environment/Context

  • Portals
  • External group

ย 

โ“ Issue/Question

  • An external user with access to several portals sees them in an order that doesn't seem to follow any logic. What decides that order, and can it be changed?

ย 

๐Ÿ‘Œ Resolution/Answer

  • The platform doesn't currently apply a sort order to portals on the Portal access page. They aren't ordered by name, by creation date, or by when the external group was given access.
  • Portals appear in the order they're stored, and that order can change when a portal is edited.
  • The order can't be configured today. Adding, removing, or re-adding an external group to a portal doesn't reliably move that portal to the top or bottom of the list.
  • A fixed, predictable portal order has been added to our product roadmap as an improvement.

ย 

๐Ÿ’ก Cause

  • The Portal access page displays portals without any sorting rule. This is a known limitation.
