Bug: Refusing to apply a sort filter on a breakdown table, applies the sort filter anyway

[joethreepwood]

Bug description

So, as I was saying... I was doing this and I decided to see what would happen if I sort a breakdown table and press cancel when this error shows up...

And what happens is that...it works! It applies the sort filter in exactly the way I wanted.

So, why is this a bug? Because the error was unclear, potentially not needed and because I was only able to get the result I wanted by cancelling the action I wanted to take.

How to reproduce

1. Insight, unsaved, with breakdown table
2. Sort a column, press cancel
3. Get what you wanted (but not, as the Stones say, what you need)

Environment

• PostHog Cloud
• self-hosted PostHog (ClickHouse-based), version/commit: please provide
• self-hosted PostHog (Postgres-based, legacy), version/commit: please provide

Additional context

Tagging @lottiecoxon and @clarkus because, again, there's a UI issue around error text and, frankly, I've tagged them in so many issues this morning that it's become a habit. Sorry, both!

Thank you for your bug report – we love squashing them!
