Sorting not working

[GeraldPape]

I have set sorting to order_by:current but this takes no effect:

[Sese-Schneider]

@GeraldPape that's weird! I assume this is because of the different orders of magnitude in the units 🤔
I will have a look.
Would you be able to share your full config with me?

I can confirm that the ordering/sorting is also not working for me.

• +1 Sorting does not work , Also dont look at the current , It is actually Daily consumption that I show this way. Tried removing it , so there just power alone - still the same

Not sure if this card is still maintained but I can confirm with the latest HASS version and the latest energy-overview-card version the "order_by" option doesn't work.

[Sese-Schneider]

The bug is finally fixed in the lastest release!

[mx-vatte]

Thank you very much! The sorting now works in general. But there is the a problem with sorting over units e.g. W and kW.

[Sese-Schneider]

@mx-vatte this is a known limitation right now unfortunately ...
I have to trade of being able to sort different types (power, voltage, etc) and converting numbers to compare.

Feel free to open a new issue for this please or try to implement a fix.
You can set the unit of measurement in your HA entity to have it uniform across the card, and have the sorting working for you.
