I've been trying to determine what has happened with the SRX500's we have at work. They are running JunOS 12 [12.1X46-D40.2].
For some reason the 'Move' box in the upper right of the Security > Policy > Apply Policy page is always greyed out, so we are unable to visually re-arrange rules from the UI and resort to the CLI each time.
While this isn't a serious problem, it is an inconvenience, particularly when dealing with large rulesets.
Unfortunately I do not know the history behind this, as it was like this when I started with the company.
Is anyone familiar with this problem? My Google-fu is not revealing any helpful questions or forum posts.
We figured out how to resolve this. The problem is the interface remembers if you've ever clicked a column to sort the list. Once you have, the sort will be remembered until your cache is cleared or you use the
Clean Sort
option from the dropdown that appears on any column when hovering it. This will re-enable the ability to sort and move your rule order from the GUI.
