Salesforce List View Renders with Aura Instead of Lightning Web Components (LWC) — Causes and Workarounds

Beginning in Winter '25, Salesforce list views typically render using Lightning Web Components (LWC), Salesforce's newest UI framework. In some cases, a list view renders with the older Aura framework instead. When this occurs, a notification alerts you that your list view is rendering with Aura. This article explains why this happens, what features are affected, and what you can do.

Possible Causes

• Lookup fields: If a list view includes a lookup to an entity that the UI API does not support, the list view renders with Aura.
• Maintenance mode: If your org is in maintenance mode, all list views render with Aura.

Affected Features

Some list view features require LWC to work as expected. When a list view renders with Aura, these features work differently than expected or do not work at all.

Sort by Multiple Columns

• You cannot configure sort by multiple columns when a list view renders with Aura.
• If a list view was previously sorted by multiple columns and then renders with Aura, the list view retains the multiple column sorting. However, visual indicators (such as the status info above the records and the sort arrows at the top of the columns) show only the first sorted column.
• If you click any column, your list view resets to single column sorting. You cannot re-sort the list view by multiple columns until the list view renders with LWC.
