Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The query browser results are rendered with a hard-coded sort. Consequence: The hard-coded sort can override the sort specified in the query, thus rendering a different result than requested. Fix: Remove the hard-coded sort so the sort specified in the query is preserved. Result: The results reflect the sort specified in the query.

Example query against the metrics browser

Description of problem:

The query browser UI on the OpenShift console doesn't honor the order of returned metrics.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OpenShift 4.3.0

How reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to the Monitoring query browser on the OpenShift console
2.Run a query that includes sorting, for example use the sort_desc function (see attachment)

Actual results:
The returned list of metrics is not sorted

Expected results:
If using a query where the order of returned metrics makes sense, the returned list of metrics should be sorted accordingly

Comment 1 Robb Hamilton 2020-02-28 16:00:50 UTC
This bug appears to be the result of the fact that the console manipulates the data for display purposes.  By comparison, Prometheus simply displays the data as it is returned.  Further, the console allows the user to change the sort column and sort direction via the table column headers (Prometheus does not), which provides another opportunity for the data display to differ from the query.  Andy, can you shed light on the reasoning for the differences between the console implementation and that of Prometheus?  It seems the simplest approach to fixing the bug is to simply follow what Prometheus does (display the data exactly as it is returned).

Try to run this query `sort_desc(topk(100,sum(pod:container_cpu_usage:sum)by(namespace)))` in prometheus and openshift console Monitoring -> Metrics

console just show the data as it is returned(in prometheus UI, when use sort_desc function, data returned is in order), user can sort data by Namespace & Value anyway.
