Sort order of Policies broken?

Arie

I'm trying to get the custom(ized) policies to show up at the beginning of the list, but it looks like there's some quirky algorithm for the sort order.

On virtually all other platforms something like this would work (the custom entry highlighted in yellow):

#Default Web Policy - custom
Default Policy
Default Workplace Policy
No web uploads

Since the ASCII-code of the #-symbol is lower than that of a "D" I expected XG to sort it as above.

However, here's what it's doing:

Default Policy
#Default Web Policy - custom
Default Workplace Policy
No web uploads

Even more strange is this sort order:

Default Policy
1Default Web Policy - custom
Default Workplace Policy
No web uploads

Bug? Design decision?

    Do not forget, most of the time, issues looks "simple" but are harder to solve in the backend. 

    The process to fix a issue has to run through couple of QA Processes and other stuff. There are more than one person involved to resolve such thing. So the estimated time spend on such issues is higher than excepted. 

    I have couple of time such discussions with partner / customers.

    One of those is a reasonably reliable roadmap. Roadmaps drive a myriad of business decisions, ranging from vendor selection to upgrade decisions. Or, in the case of SG / XG, when and whether to select XG. 

    I fully agree, and it is frustrating to me.  As a Sophos employee I know a lot about what we are working on right now, and a little about what the future plans are.  But I cannot communicate that in the forums.  It is up to product management, marketing, and so on to relay that to partners and customers.

    I can say that roadmaps change, and the further you go out the less sure we are.  The v18 that we are working on right now is pretty set in stone and IMO should have a least the high level features announced.  But it is different from what we thought v18 was going to be 12 months ago.

    The sort order issue is mostly just a nuisance for small organizations. For larger orgs it might be a show-stopper - especially since search/filter isn't really functional either.
