i can confirm that when you have filtered by "featured" then you can no longer sort by "filtered asc/desc" etc
When you have not filtered by "featured" then the sort is is available

however it looks to me that this is intentional and you have misunderstood the purpose of the sort

without the filter then all the sort does is to list all the featured and then all the non-featured articles
with the filter there is nothing for the ordering to do

I am guessing that what you want to do is to filter the featured articles and then see/set the order of the featured articles. If so then that is done using the ordering column (to the immediate left) of the featured column

It is not possible to set a different order for an article when it is featured or not

@chmst It is not possible to set a different order for an article when it is featured or not

is this some functionality that has been lost with merging the featured/articles views into one

You are right: when filtering is done with "featured descending" first the featured articles are visible in the list. But the order of these featured articles is so unlogical (and I do not understand it). The more logical whould be the order in of the featured display.
