Same was for me.
Only after clearing the browser’s cache the disappeared content displayed.
Indeed:
12:38:58.063 AUTO-ENTITIES 1.8.3 IS INSTALLED auto-entities.js:194:5516
Unfortunately no luck!
Deleted all cards using auto entities. Removed and reinstalled auto-entities. After start-up, following message was recorded: 12:38:58.063 AUTO-ENTITIES 1.8.3 IS INSTALLED auto-entities.js:194:5516. No errors found. Using auto-entities again without embedded custom:fold-entity-row, functioned properly. Including custom:fold-entity-row back again made lovelace card disappear and resulted in error message: 13:17:40.477 TypeError: r is undefined auto-entities.js:1:27664.
Using the auto-entities.js hyperlink as shown in console delivered the following highlighted pointer:
function t(t,e,i,n){var s,o=arguments.length,r=o<3?e:null===n?n=Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(e,i):n;if(“object”==typeof Reflect&&“function”==typeof …etc
Thank you. Try 1.8.4
Bingo! 
Thank you so much!
Need some help.
For this I gonna make a simple case.
There is a list of batteries.
The card contains:
- title
- section with label
- list of batteries
But the batteries must be sorted by “charge level”.
This is an easy task if using “filter / include / …” method.
But here I gonna use a “filter / template” method:
type: 'custom:auto-entities'
card:
type: entities
title: Batteries
entities:
- type: section
label: Some title
unique: entity
show_empty: true
filter:
template: |
{% for state in states.sensor -%}
{%- if state.entity_id | regex_match('sensor.battery_',ignorecase=False) -%}
{{
{ 'entity': state.entity_id,
'secondary_info': 'last-changed'
} }},
{%- endif -%}
{%- endfor %}
sort:
method: state
reverse: false
ignore_case: false
attribute: null
first: 0
count: 1000
numeric: true
Now the question is - how to sort this list?
The code provided above gives this picture:
Note that the “section” row is sorted with other “battery” rows - and it comes to the bottom.
So how can I sort only “templated” rows?
Of course, there is a workaround "reverse: true" - but this is not a solution.
I am not sure what has happened. But, today my sensors are sorting in reverse order on my browser and the correct/normal order on my tablet. Using 1.8.4. Any ideas?
Thank you for the guidance!
Made this:
template: |
{% for state in states.sensor|sort(reverse=false,attribute="state") -%}
{%- if state.entity_id | regex_match('sensor.battery_',ignorecase=False) -%}
{{
{ 'entity': state.entity_id,
'secondary_info': 'last-changed'
} }},
{%- endif -%}
{%- endfor %}
But:
Sort is made for “strings”, so the result is “100%, 14%, 20%, 90%”.
Is it possible to sort it is numbers?
P.S.
A bit simpler way (w/o "secondary_info") - filter by “device_class” (may not be 100% useful in some particular setup) - with "sort", and it does not sort properly too 'cause it sorts strings instead of numbers:
template: |
{{ states.sensor
| selectattr('attributes.device_class','eq','battery')
| sort(reverse=false,attribute='state')
| map(attribute='entity_id')
| list }}
of course ymmv, but, depending on the states and auto-entities cards you have, continuous evaluating of states in the states machine might be very costly. especially since these are done in the back-end and not in the browser?
suggestion: auto create a group at startup with the same template and have the auto-entities card use the group for filter?
automation:
- alias: Create battery group
trigger:
platform: homeassistant
event: start
action:
service: group.set
data:
object_id: battery_sensors
entities: >-
{%- for s in states.sensor
if ('battery_level' in s.entity_id or
'motion_sensor_battery' in s.entity_id)%}
{{s.entity_id}}{% if not loop.last %}, {% endif %}
{%- endfor %}

This is a very good solution. I am still learning…
But how to sort as numbers?
What I found - two separate lists, and these lists may be placed as two separate auto-entities cards:
template: |
{{ states.sensor
| selectattr('attributes.device_class','eq','battery')
| rejectattr('state','eq','100')
| sort(reverse=false,attribute='state')
| map(attribute='entity_id')
| list }}
template: |
{{ states.sensor
| selectattr('attributes.device_class','eq','battery')
| selectattr('state','eq','100')
| map(attribute='entity_id')
| list }}
Or is it possible to concatenate these lists in one template?
Update: I was wrong, this is not enough, we need three sets - “<10”, “10…99”, “100”
Details are in the posts below
I guess:
{% set reject = states.sensor
| selectattr('attributes.device_class','eq','battery')
| rejectattr('state','eq','100')
| sort(reverse=false,attribute='state')
| map(attribute='entity_id')
|join(', \n') %}
{% set select = states.sensor
| selectattr('attributes.device_class','eq','battery')
| selectattr('state','eq','100')
| map(attribute='entity_id')
|join(',\n') %}
{{reject ~ select}}

That was a quite brain-cracking challenge for me))
Thank you!
For auto-entities I chose this version:
template: |
{{ states.sensor
| selectattr('attributes.device_class','eq','battery')
| rejectattr('state','eq','100')
| sort(reverse=false,attribute='state')
| map(attribute='entity_id')
| join(',')
~
','
~
states.sensor
| selectattr('attributes.device_class','eq','battery')
| selectattr('state','eq','100')
| map(attribute='entity_id')
| join(',')
}}
Your a bit corrected version (will not work otherwise):
template: |
{% set reject = states.sensor
| selectattr('attributes.device_class','eq','battery')
| rejectattr('state','eq','100')
| sort(reverse=false,attribute='state')
| map(attribute='entity_id')
| join(',') %}
{% set select = states.sensor
| selectattr('attributes.device_class','eq','battery')
| selectattr('state','eq','100')
| map(attribute='entity_id')
| join(',') %}
{{reject ~ ',' ~ select}}
Update:
Using "group.battery_sensors" + displaying "secondary_info":
template: |
{% set batteries = expand('group.battery_sensors')
| rejectattr('state','eq','100')
| sort(reverse=false,attribute='state') -%}
{%- for battery in batteries -%}
{{
{ 'entity': battery.entity_id,
'secondary_info': 'last-changed'
} }},
{%- endfor -%}
{%- set batteries_full = expand('group.battery_sensors')
| selectattr('state','eq','100') -%}
{%- for battery in batteries_full -%}
{{
{ 'entity': battery.entity_id,
'secondary_info': 'last-changed'
} }},
{%- endfor %}
Update: no, it does not work - see post below

sorry I missed the concatenating comma, easily overlooked… have another card-mod one for you, Ill post it there
No, this method does not work.
It does not sort items numerically:
The idea was “let’s sort values <100 separately and then add values ==100”.
Now we need to sort items “<10” separately too.
But - to do this we cannot use
"selectattr()" & "rejectattr()" - these filters work with strings, not numbers…
So - using "template" does not give us easy methods to sort numeric states.
Of course we can use "sort" options (here on GitHub) - but these options work for all entities on the card, not only provided by the "template".
yes, that could be an issue. using |map('int') wont probably help here, because then it won’t list the entity_id’s anymore:
{% set alert_level = states('input_number.battery_alert_level')|int %}
{{expand('group.battery_sensors')
|map(attribute='state')|map('int')
|select('<',alert_level)
|list|count}}
to give you an idea of how to force that. Must have another look at this, but will be tomorrow…
I have been looking at the same direction, thank you!
For now I found a way:
template: |
{% set batteries = expand('group.battery_sensors')
|rejectattr('state','eq','100') -%}
{%- for battery in batteries|sort(reverse=false,attribute='state') -%}
{%- if battery.state|int < 10|int -%}
{{
{ 'entity': battery.entity_id,
'secondary_info': 'last-changed'
} }},
{%- endif -%}
{%- endfor -%}
{% set batteries = expand('group.battery_sensors')
|rejectattr('state','eq','100') -%}
{%- for battery in batteries|sort(reverse=false,attribute='state') -%}
{%- if battery.state|int >= 10|int -%}
{{
{ 'entity': battery.entity_id,
'secondary_info': 'last-changed'
} }},
{%- endif -%}
{%- endfor -%}
{% set batteries = expand('group.battery_sensors')
|selectattr('state','eq','100') -%}
{%- for battery in batteries|sort(reverse=false,attribute='entity_id') -%}
{{
{ 'entity': battery.entity_id,
'secondary_info': 'last-changed'
} }},
{%- endfor -%}
I tried to find a way without using "if .. endif".
Finally I only managed to print a list of states, not entity_ids:
template: |
{{
expand('group.battery_sensors')
|map(attribute='state')|map('int')|select('<',10|int)
|sort()
|join(',')
~
','
~
expand('group.battery_sensors')
|map(attribute='state')|map('int')|select('<',100|int)|select('>=',10|int)
|sort()
|join(',')
~
','
~
expand('group.battery_sensors')
|selectattr('state','eq','100')
|sort(reverse=false,attribute='name')
|map(attribute='state')
|join(',')
}}
template: |
6,12,26,36,42,47,76,90,100,100,100,100
But cannot create a list of entity_ids from here…
OK, that was an investigation, very useful for me.
But in practice the easiest ways are:
- Do not use the “template” - use “include” etc.
- If the “template” is have to be used - then try to use “sort” options (note that they work for all entities on the card).

Sorry for bothering people again - but I got a new erratic problem.
Please help me…
The card contains:
- vertical-stack
- Two auto-entities cards with sensors with states:
- unavailable
- unknown
The code:
type: vertical-stack
cards:
- type: 'custom:auto-entities'
card:
type: entities
title: Сенсоры 'unknown'
unique: true
show_empty: true
filter:
template: >-
{{states | selectattr('state', 'eq', 'unknown') |
map(attribute='entity_id') | list }}
sort:
method: name
reverse: false
ignore_case: false
attribute: null
first: 0
count: 100
numeric: false
- type: 'custom:auto-entities'
card:
type: entities
title: Сенсоры 'unavailable'
unique: true
show_empty: true
filter:
template: >-
{{states | selectattr('state', 'eq', 'unavailable') |
map(attribute='entity_id') | list }}
sort:
method: name
reverse: false
ignore_case: false
attribute: null
first: 0
count: 100
numeric: false
If unavailable sensors are present, I see this:
If unavailable sensors are NOT present, I expect to see this:
But I see this instead:
The second auto-entity list disappeared - although there is "show_empty: true" option.
If I put the 2nd auto-entities card into a separate card (without vertical stack), I can see this - the card is displayed:
Moreover, if I open the initial card in the editor, I see this - the 2nd list is displayed again:
Browser Chrome, Win10x64.
Same in Firefox.
Tried to:
- clean cache;
- restart browser.
First it helped: when I opened the page - everything was OK.
After refresh (F5) - same problem, no “unavailable” card.
Moreover - sometimes after refresh I see the card again - and then after next refresh (or even after switching to/from editor mode) - the card disappear.
So, the problem is erratic.
Rewrote the card without “template” - same problem, the 2nd list not displayed.
type: vertical-stack
cards:
- type: 'custom:auto-entities'
card:
type: entities
title: Сенсоры 'unknown'
unique: true
show_empty: true
filter:
include:
- state: unknown
sort:
method: name
reverse: false
ignore_case: false
attribute: null
first: 0
count: 100
numeric: false
- type: 'custom:auto-entities'
card:
type: entities
title: Сенсоры 'unavailable'
unique: true
show_empty: true
filter:
include:
- state: unavailable
sort:
method: name
reverse: false
ignore_case: false
attribute: null
first: 0
count: 100
numeric: false
Update: the 2nd list always erratically disappears if it is empty.
Made a test card with 2 lists:
- domain: fan
- domain: light
So far I do not have any "light" entity - so the 2nd “light” card is disappeared.
One more problem with "auto-entities" inside "vertical-stack" - list of persons on a map.
It works if "auto-entities" is NOT inside "vertical-stack" (update 27.05.22: see a Note below):
type: 'custom:auto-entities'
card:
type: map
title: Map Family abroad
show_empty: false
filter:
include:
- entity_id: person.*
options:
dark_mode: false
default_zoom: 14
It does NOT work if "auto-entities" IS inside "vertical-stack" (update 27.05.22: see a Note below):
type: vertical-stack
cards:
- type: 'custom:auto-entities'
card:
type: map
title: Map Family abroad
show_empty: false
filter:
include:
- entity_id: person.*
options:
dark_mode: false
default_zoom: 14
But if you try to edit smth like “title” - the card is shown again:
But after save - again not shown.
update 27.05.22 - a Note:
seems that the issue may be reproduced even without placing a map card into a vertical stack.
