Multiple filters can share the same Filter Index Number. If they do, they'll typically appear in the order they were created.

8. Reload the Dashboard to see the impact of your adjustments.

Remember to Overwrite Saved View and Reload the Dashboard after each change to the filter index. This ensures you are checking the adjustments one by one.

If you do not see overwrite but only the Save As option, it means you are modifying a Global View that you do not have permission to modify. Use the Save As to create a personal view that you have ownership of and can modify.


And there you have it! You now know how to set the order of dashboard filters!
