Hello,

In `Discover` mode I am not able to sort the duration field in ascending order. It continues to show in descending order.

Please guide. We are using 7.6.2 stack

Thanks

It seems that this was a bug on 7.6. I am not sure in which version it was fixed though. I can say that it works fine on 8.6 and 7.17 (if you remove the date field sorting). An upgrade it will help. 7.6 is a quite old version,
