Project Status values not in order

Hi Workfront Community,

 

I'm setting up project Status values in a new org, and I've dragged and dropped them (in Setup) in the order I wish to see them when on a project, but they are not appearing in the correct order.  Not sure if this matters, but since you can't delete or hide the standard statuses "Current" and "Planning", I renamed them.

 

This is the order I want

 

This is the order I'm getting (but don't want)

 

 

Any idea why this might be happening?

Thanks,

Nick

I suspect you are reordering the statuses at the system level (I cant see since your screenshot cuts off the selected group). You cannot reorder statuses at the system level and instead must reorder at the group level. Screenshot and documentation below
