Issue description

In the Table View sorting only works sporadically. Most of the time, it doesn’t work at all, other times, sorting is applied to the previously selected column. This seems to be independent of whether you first select the sorting direction and then the sort by drop down, or otherwise round. This seems to be independent of the number of trials. Currently, I observe that for around ~50 runs. On the server side that hosts the TensorBoard, I don’t observe CPU core utilization or RAM saturation.

I am having a very similar problem, and it seems to only be a problem with some columns, namely the metrics columns. However, this depends on the total number of columns

The requests to the server are fine in terms of completion.

I will note that this problem also occurs when trying to filter values based on min-max range for a column where the sorting doesn’t work. Interestingly enough, if you filter values before trying to sort, it works. If you try after, it no longer works, likely due to the client-side bugs that are messing with the table.

[tshadley]

I observe this issue but only when I have at least one hparam that is a string. That string creates an off-by-one miscalculation in the session_groups Request Payload judging by the position of the “order:” key.
