Bugs October 9, confirmations at 03:44 and 06:29 UTC (06:44 and 09:29 Moscow time). Archive addition after the overnight 70291 update.
A short macro restores bag sorting for affected players
Two players confirmed the sorting command. Another workaround temporarily separates combined bags.
Status: On October 11, a participant suggested /run C_Container.SetInsertItemsLeftToRight(false), or true, to change bag insertion direction. This is separate from sorting existing contents. The command is player supplied and has not been tested locally in the client. Record the original direction and compare with a newly acquired item.

Earlier updates
At 16:19 UTC on October 10, Fluffygurl also reported reversed bags and the missing button. Anarchos described new loot at the bottom and arrows at the top. The sorting command is not a verified fix for display order.
Clarified: the left menu selects excluded bags. Sorting is at the top right in separate view.
Description
After the update, forum users lost the button in combined-bag view. Kalzandius and XMASTER confirmed /run C_Container.SortBags(). DefDred suggests separating bags, sorting them and enabling the combined view again. Bosen clarified on October10 at03:23UTC (06:23Moscow): the top-right button in separate view sorts every bag except excluded ones. The left menu chooses exclusions for sorting and junk sales. That menu is not the sorting button. At 16:19 UTC on October 10, Fluffygurl also reported reversed bags and the missing button. Anarchos described new loot at the bottom and arrows at the top.

Effect
Sorting may work without installing another addon.
How to reproduce it
- Create a macro containing only /run C_Container.SortBags() and run it out of combat.
- If it fails, temporarily disable combined bags and use the visible sort button.
- Restore your preferred view. This is a UI workaround, not a confirmed button fix.
What players report
- Kalzandius
The button is visible with separate bags but missing in combined view.

Suggested right-clicking the top-left bag frame for sorting options. Bosen later clarified that this menu selects exclusions, not sorting.
