It is not possible to change the sort order from “Oldest items first” back to ”Newest items first ”

In “Edit” - “Settings” - “Advanced” - “Subscription Sorting”, it is not possible to change the sort order from “Oldest items first” back to ”Newest items first ”

    I can reproduce on Zotero 7.0.9-beta.3+ece595e79 (64-bit) on Windows 10.

    You can revert this back to the default ”Newest items first” from the Config Editor at the bottom of the Advanced Settings:
    extensions.zotero.feeds.sortAscending -> false (default value)

    Is there any solution on Mac please?

    Are you sure this problem still exists? On my Mac, that setting is changeable in version 7.0.10. Make sure you update Zotero.

    Also, the config editor workaround mentioned by mjthoraval would work on Mac, Windows and linux. (You can access the config editor in Zotero Settings -> Advanced, just go all the way to the bottom for the config editor button.)

    I have just checked and the bug is still the same.
    But the workaround should work in the meantime.

    Sorry, from the description in the OP, it sounded like the Sorting menu did not pull down. It does, but the changing the order there does not change the sorting order. The bug is also there in 7.0.11beta3, and mjthoraval's workaround works regardless of OS.

    Once extensions.zotero.feeds.sortAscending is toggled, you will have to click on some other collection in Zotero and get back to the feed for the sort order to take effect.
