Summary

  • Document the Sort control on the Metrics in Discover page (alphabetically and recently explored), scoped to Serverless and Stack 9.6+.
  • Rewrite the lead-in so search, sort, and breakdown are described as grid controls, not chart actions.
  • Closes [Discover] Document metrics grid sorting #8200

No screenshot in this PR. The most useful one to add later is the Sort dropdown in the metrics toolbar.

Test plan

  • Check the docs preview for solutions/observability/infra-and-hosts/discover-metrics.md
  • Confirm the 9.6+ / Serverless applies_to badges render on the Sort section
  • Confirm the Sort subsection sits after Search and before Break down

Users can sort the metrics grid in Discover, and the page still framed
search and breakdown as chart actions. Closes #8200.

The intro and lead-in were repeating the same capability list. Drop the
lead-in so the headings carry the page.

✅ Elastic Docs Style Checker (Vale)

No issues found on modified lines!


The Vale linter checks documentation changes against the Elastic Docs style guide. To use Vale locally or report issues, refer to Elastic style guide for Vale.

Keep the original intro, but point it at the grid instead of the charts.
Mark Alphabetically as the default and describe Recently explored as
order, not as moving metrics.
Drop reload persistence and the extra paragraph; two action examples
are enough.
Introduce the list as sorting options instead of a call to action.
Section badges need a heading to render, so 9.5 readers can see this
is not available for them.
Page frontmatter already marks the page serverless: ga.
Use a definition list so the badge sits on the term, not in the gap
between a bold heading and the list.
