In employee center portal, if users preferred language is English then sort by filter is showing when they open any topic available in portal via mega menu or by search but if users preferred language is German or may be other then sort by filter is not showing/ visible to  user

where to check to fix this issue

Hi @Snehal Bhagat1 . 
From the top of my head, I would suggest you to check the following:

Check System UI -> Languages (sys_language)
Make sure German (de) is active.

Check portal internationalization
Go to Service Portal > Portals → open Employee Center
Ensure Internationalization is enabled.

Compare page variants by opening the page used for topics/search (e.g., ec-topic, ec-search) in Page Designer.
Check if there is a German variant of the page.
If yes → see if the Sort by widget exists on that variant.
If no → copy the widget setup from the English variant.

Hopefully the above checks will give you an indication as to where the problem may reside. 

N.B. Check Browser console log for errors

Hi @CFrandsen

At least we made it this far... 
Did you have a chance to check the DevTools for any direct indication of issues with the Sort function?

Next steps could be to check the following:

• DevTools (German locale): is the “Sort by” element in the DOM but hidden?

  • Inspect the topic/search header → look for display:none, visibility:hidden, opacity:0, or a class like hidden, ng-hide, or CSS targeting [lang="de"] / .locale-de.
    
    

• Widget instance options: some EC/SP widgets have options like show_sort, hideSort, enable_sorting. These can differ per page instance (English page vs another page).
