Customizing the order of status options

Description - Allowing customization of the ORDER in which status options appear.

Why is this feature important to you - Allows for status to be selected in the typical order that they move from one status to another rather than fixed in an order not based on logic.

How would you like the feature to work - I would like to change the order in settings and then have the same order apply throughout the instance (Project statuses in Settings = Project status in projects, in Project Details, in project reports, etc.)

Current Behaviour - Reordering in Settings does not change the order of appearance in other places.

 

 How it is in settings would be the order it appears in Projects (and other drop downs)

hmmm... Odd, I have the ability to reorder the statuses in my Workfront instance.  I havent tested it right now but perhaps you're reordering them at the System Statuses level. Try reordering them by selecting a group on the top right corner then reorder the statuses there.

Also here's the documentation snipped on this topic.  It looks like reordering statuses may only be applicable to specific groups:

I have noticed the same problem in my instance.

Thanks for two great suggestions! 
Reorder Group Statuses | Adobe Workfront - I'm the system admin, so it seems I'd be able to adjust the system setting. Maybe I need to check if something is disconnected with my account (I am getting an error trying to access the preview enviro too).
