TASK DESCRIPTION **Steps to replicate the issue** (include links if applicable): - Run a SPARQL query that includes an ORDER BY clause to explicitly order its results, eg https://w.wiki/6DJj - Use the GUI to change the order, by clicking one of the `^``v` buttons on one of the columns - Re-run the SPARQL query (even in a different window) **What happens?**: - The re-run query returns rows in the order last set using the GUI, not the order specified in the query **What should have happened instead?**: - The re-run query should return results as specified by the ORDER BY clause in the query **Software version** (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia): **Other information** (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.): I am seeing this on Chrome version 109.0.5414.74 on Windows 10. Seems to be a recent reversion -- I wasn't aware of it before January 11. I raised it at WD:RAQ <https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Wikidata:Request_a_query&oldid=1812197117#ordering_within_a_GROUP_CONCAT> and also on the wikidata Telegram channel; in both forums other users also report seeing this. - UI may also be remembering which page of a multi-page result set one had browsed to. Can be very annoying, if one is trying to debug a complex query, or share an intricate search order -- and finding oneself unexpectedly on a later page of results can make things even more confusing. First principle of least surprise is the GUI should return results in the order they have been asked for. - The behaviour persists even if it is several days since the query last ran; and also even if minor changes are made to the query text, eg by adding spaces -- so can't be a url caching issue.
