A known issue causes the view to break when you sort by the Current Position (CURR) column in the Position Changes page (Organic Positions tab), located under Site Metrics in the left sidebar. Your data is intact — sort by any other column to access it while our engineering team deploys a fix.
🔍 What Happens When You Sort by Current Position (CURR)
Clicking the Current Position (CURR) column header in the Position Changes page (Organic Positions tab), under Site Metrics in the left sidebar, triggers a backend validation error, causing the view to fail entirely. The tab goes blank and becomes unusable until you select a different sort column.
Who is affected: Any Search Atlas user who clicks the Current Position (CURR) column header to sort results in the Position Changes tab.
Your data is not lost. All keyword and position change data remains intact and fully accessible when you sort by any other available column.
🛠️ Workaround: Sort by a Different Column
Avoid clicking Current Position (CURR) to sort until the fix is deployed. Any other column header loads your data normally.
- In Search Atlas, open Site Explorer and select your project.
- Click the Position Changes tab under Organic results.
- Click any column header other than Current Position (CURR) — for example, PREV, DIFF, TRAFFIC, or MONTHLY S. VOLUME.
- Your results load and display as expected.
After selecting an alternative sort column, your full keyword and position change data is visible and usable.
