I also noticed that if we want to use status values across, the statuses are ordered alphabetically based on, I think, their 3 letter code. We added numbers to them to see if that would allow us to see them in order but that didn't work. :(
Thank you for the idea. I'm working with Jonathan Chen to get updates on the top ideas that haven't had any recent updates.
I work in the Product Management team. I checked with Ben Robbins. He is one of the Group Product Managers. Here is his response for this idea:
"All new enhancements for reports are on hold, while we wait for the new reporting to come to life. We suspect a new series of requests will bubble to the top once users adopt the new experience."
