I'm experiencing a flickering issue in the address bar when navigating in my Laravel Jetstream + Vue app. The URL I generate is:
http://localhost/admin/users/list?page=2&field=name&direction=asc
But on navigation, the parameters are rearranged, and the URL briefly displays as:
http://localhost/admin/users/list?direction=asc&field=name&page=2
Below are the relevant code snippets:
Controller:
PHPpublic function list() { return Inertia::render('Admin/Users/List', [ 'users' => User::orderBy(request('sort', 'id'), request('direction', 'asc')) ->paginate(10)->withQueryString(), 'direction' => request('direction'), 'sort' => request('sort'), ]); }
list.vue:
JAVASCRIPTrouter.get(route('admin.users.list'), { direction: direction.value, page: 1, sort: sort.value, });
pagination.vue:
HTML:href="pagination.prev_page_url"
This behavior results in URLs like:
http://localhost/admin/users/list?direction=asc&page=5&sort=name
I suspect this happens because both Laravel's paginator (withQueryString) and the Vue router rebuild the query string from objects, resulting in a different parameter order. How can I prevent this flickering or maintain my specified parameter order?
Any insights or solutions would be appreciated.

This behavior is expected and not a bug. Both Laravel (with its paginate/withQueryString helper) and your client‑side code (Inertia/Vue) rebuild the query string from an object rather than preserving its original order. In HTTP, the order of query parameters isn’t significant, so the framework chooses its own (often sorted or based on insertion order) order when generating links.
In your case:
This “flickering” (or brief change in appearance) is simply the URL being updated to a canonical form. If the functionality is working normally, you can safely ignore this. If you wish to enforce a specific parameter order, you’d have to implement custom query string serialization—but most of the time this isn’t necessary as the parameter order has no semantic effect.

It appears to be a known issue which might someday be solved. A pull request was made but has yet to be merged.
Googling for vue url query parameter alphabetical order
led me to the issue Query parameters are rearranging on page load #3578 that seems to describe exactly what you are seeing too.
That issue was Closed as a duplicate of Why is it designed as below? it will cause history.replaceState method to be called #3447 which mentions a replaceState
function in the Vue framework that perhaps should not be called.
That issue is still Open and is linked to a pull request feat: optimize method to determine whether the two path are the same in ensureUrl methods #3477 that might fix the issue. From a quick glance I think it has to do something with comparing the list of query parameters to decide whether or not they contain the same keys.
It appears the last activity on these issues was in 2021 so it might not be solved anytime soon.
To solve this flicker, maybe you could order the parameters alphabetically yourself?
