Different behavior of filters in different environments

Hi Everyone,

I've added filters on the reports which shows up differently on different environments (copy/dev and prod version). 

Submission Status field -> Filter values: Proposal Submitted, Proposal Closed
In 1st env. "Proposal Submitted" records show up 1st whereas in 2nd env. (production) "Proposal Closed" ones show up 1st. Users do not want to see closed records 1st. 

I'm not sure how does sort and group from low to high work for text. Please advice. 


Thank you!
