You can choose three server settings that determine whether and when systems are sorted. Also, you can choose whether any system can be sorted by enabling or disabling System Tree sorting on selected systems in the System Tree.
Server settings
The server has three settings:
Disable System Tree sorting — Prevents other ePO - On-prem users from configuring sorting criteria on groups by mistake and moving systems to undesirable locations in the System Tree.
Sort systems on each agent-server communication — Sorts systems again at each agent-server communication. When you change sorting criteria on groups, systems move to the new group at their next agent-server communication.
Sort systems once — Systems are sorted at the next agent-server communication and not sorted again as long as this setting is selected. You can still sort a system, however, by selecting it and clicking Sort Now.
System settings
You can disable or enable System Tree sorting on any system. If disabled on a system, that system isn't sorted, regardless of how the sorting action is taken. If enabled, systems can be sorted using the manual Sort Now action, and can be sorted at agent-server communication.
