Deployment Type

Self-hosted

NetBox Version

v4.2.5

Python Version

3.12

Steps to Reproduce

On any netbox with one or more devices:

  1. Go to DEVICES > Devices
  2. Click the "NAME" column heading to sort by that field.

Expected Behavior

Devices to be sorted by name.

Observed Behavior

Nothing. Devices are not sorted by name.

This also happens on the Demo NetBox:

In this case, when the sort field is specified on the command line, you get:

Ah, thanks for pointing out the previous report for this issue. I thought it was new for 4.2.5, I didn't realise it existed in 4.2.4 also.

It does not fix the bug but can be a temporary solution.
Open /user/preferences/ then Clear table preferences for the DeviceTable.

This works.
Is there a way to clear table preferences for all users? Maybe an SQL query?

UPDATE public.users_userconfig SET "data"='{}'::jsonb;

this seems to work
