## Description

### Steps to reproduce

1.  Go to a list of work packages
    
2.  Open the menu to configure the table and open the &quot;Sort by&quot; tab
    
3.  Choose &quot;automatic&quot; as sort mode
    
4.  See &quot;Autocomplete&quot; in the list of attributes by which sorting is possible
    

### What is the buggy behavior?

*   All other entries describe attributes
    
*   The &quot;Autocomplete&quot; sort is actually a sort by &quot;updated at&quot;, which is also in the list
    

### What is the expected behavior?

*   &quot;Meta&quot; sort options (which are already `displayable: false`) should not appear in the list
    

### Important note

Customers could have choosen that already and should be migrated to sort by `"updated_at", "desc"` (which is the underlying behaviour for &quot;Autocomplete&quot;)
