This is detached from JENKINS-59665 by jsoref open /pluginManager/installed (Jenkins 2.198) Have: a couple of plugins with dependencies (enabled) a couple of plugins (disabled) a couple of plugins that have never been upgraded a couple of plugins which have been upgraded Actual results I can't really explain what it's doing. – It appears to be stable (i.e. toggling the sort direction for one of these columns reverses the sort), but it isn't global (i.e. changing the sort key to a different column, e.g. Name, and then back to the Enabled column results in a new sort). Expected results Sorting by Enabled should sort into three sets: Enabled (checkbox checked) Enabled (checkbox disabled) and can't be disabled (because they're used by enabled plugins) Disabled (checkbox unchecked) --- Originally reported by oleg_nenashev , imported from: Rework sorting for the Enabled columns of Installed in Plugin Manager assignee : kalana status : Open priority : Minor component(s) : core label(s) : newbie-friendly, plugin-manager, ux resolution : Unresolved votes : 0 watchers : 5 imported : 2025-11-24 Raw content of original issue This is detached from JENKINS-59665 by jsoref open /pluginManager/installed (Jenkins 2.198) Have: a couple of plugins with dependencies (enabled) a couple of plugins (disabled) a couple of plugins that have never been upgraded a couple of plugins which have been upgraded Actual results I can't really explain what it's doing. – It appears to be stable (i.e. toggling the sort direction for one of these columns reverses the sort), but it isn't global (i.e. changing the sort key to a different column, e.g. Name, and then back to the Enabled column results in a new sort).

Contributor guide

Research direction: Inspect the current sorting logic for the Enabled column in the Plugin Manager page (likely in Jenkins core Java code). Understand how plugins are listed and sorted. Implement sorting into three sets: enabled, enabled but cannot be disabled (due to dependencies), and disabled. Test the changes by running the plugin manager UI locally.
