My active listings page just started displaying listings differently. Occurring on both desktop and app. I have listing sorted by watchers first, then eBay defaults to new listings after. Well, now new listings are not what is being displayed after watchers. As far as I can tell, it's random listings that are displaying after watchers. When I sort by newly listed items (on app), or start date (on desktop), it displays the correct newly listed items. So IDK what is going on now when sorting by watchers. Did eBay change something?

eBay may be testing something new with certain accounts; use the "Tell us what you think" link, or the "?" icon in the lower right of your Active Listings page to let eBay know your opinion of the changes, or which important features you are missing on the new page.

Well, I reported the problem under the "?" icon, but the response was something like, we'll look into it but you won't hear from us. I doubt this will be fixed.

I've dug in a bit deeper. It's still wanting to display newly listed items after the column sort, as is evident by the numerically descending item numbers. However the items displayed appear random, or I can't figure out why it's picking those items out to display.

Do other columns sort correctly when you select those? Can you reverse the sort by clicking again?

I've sorted (and reverse sorted) by watchers, sku and start date. The column sort isn't the issue. The issue presents itself when those column options like watchers and sku get to items with no value in the field. Then the default sort happens, which is supposed to be newly listed items (item numbers numerically descending). What's occurring for me, newly listed items are still displaying after a column sort, but it's random items (still item numbers numerically descending) . Weird AF. I'm starting to think it's a glitch between the app and desktop site. This all coincidentally happened after I started using sorting options on the app.
