NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.
Summary
When a table contains a combination of numbers and letters, sorting does not properly alphabetize the columns.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a table with the following data:
Column 1 Column 2 a abc b aab 3 acb abc bbc jha bac 2bcd bbb 1zja bca aaks bcb - Save table
- Click Column 1 to sort
Expected Results
The table will be sorted in correct alphabetical order.
Actual Results
Table is sorted as follows (Column 1):
1
1zja
2
2bcd
3
abc
jha
aaks
Notice jha is between abc and aaks. I would expect it would sort aaks, abc, jha.
Notes
See screenshot attached.

[CONFSERVER-40460] Tables are sorted incorrectly
Can you please reopened recently i was upgraded from 7.4.7 to 7.13.2 but sorting option is not working i tried to enable but the sorting plugin does not showing option and its saying its not modifiable.
Can this be re-opened? This is still a problem and I am on cloud. Thanks!
Thank you for your interest in this ticket. The Confluence Server and Data Center team released a major upgrade to the editor in 6.14. Due to the age of this ticket and/or lack of updates, we suspect that this issue is no longer relevant or was resolved as a result of the upgrade and are now closing this ticket.
If this issue is still a problem in your Confluence instance in version 6.15 or later, please tag me in your comment and we can reopen this ticket for review.
You can read more about the editor upgrade in the 6.14 Release Notes.
Thanks
Makisa Appleton | Senior Product Manager, Confluence Server and Data Center
This is a view page bug not related to the editor, it appears to be fixed on

- Pug conf cloud
This bug is a major issue for data handling within Confluence tables. Please provide a fix. In addition to not sorting properly combined letter/number columns, these columns can also not be rearranged by clicking the small up/down arrows in the column header (see example image attached).
One more interesting observation: After including another cell with only numbers or only letters, the column sorts correctly again.

We also seem to be encountering this issue immediately after upgrading to 7.13.2.
It seems to malfunction on some tables but not all.
