Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Dashboards page using the documented sort and navigation steps. Compare the behavior of “Sort by Modified” with “Sort by Name” when returning from another page, then trace the dashboard page entry point and sorting state. Done means returning to Dashboards no longer shows the error page under the reported sequence.
