Description

Hello,

In Email Reports we are able to add Entry Pages and Exit Pages in a report (by URL and by Title). The ordering of these tables is not intuitive. As far as I can tell, the way it works is that it pulls a list of all pages in the time period sorted by number of visits, and then filters out anything that isn't an entry/exit page. That leaves a table with no apparent sort order since there are many frequently popular pages that are not common entry/exit pages.

The tables should be sorted by the data they're displaying: Entrances/Exits descending (in both, the case of displaying the tables by URL and by Title). Can you please confirm this behavior?

Thanks a lot.

Research direction
Investigate the email report generation code, likely in plugins/EmailReports/ or core/Archive.php. Look for sorting of Entry Pages and Exit Pages. The issue suggests sorting by Entrances/Exits descending. Check if there is an existing sorting function and modify it to sort by the relevant metric. See comments on the issue for any additional context.
