When Multiple Statuses with multiple categories created on a site via the API, the sorting is no longer follows the Status order outlined in the status page. 

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create multiple statuses in various categories using the API endpoint: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-status/#api-rest-api-3-statuses-post
2. Assign new statutes  to a  Workflow
3. Create test requests on a project associated with the Workflow above. 
4. Move requests to new statues. 
5. Sort the queue by Status OR create a filter and sort by status
6. Observe how the order after sorting does not reflect the status order set on <Your URL>.atlassian.net/secure/admin/ViewStatuses.jspa

Workaround

1. Navigate to <Your URL>.atlassian.net/secure/admin/ViewStatuses.jspa
2. Change the status order using the up and down arrows. 
3. Change it back to the original order - if needed.
4. Navigate back to the queue or filter and sort again
5. The status should be ordered as expected. 

Expected behaviour

No need to change the order of statuses to be sorted correctly
