Sort Tasks in List View

Overview​

The Sort option in List View helps you organize how tasks are displayed by ordering them based on a specific field—such as Due Date, Priority, Estimation, or even Custom Fields.

When sections are used in a project, sorting is applied within each section, so tasks under each section will be ordered based on your selected sort field.

This makes it easier to view tasks in a way that fits your workflow, such as viewing all tasks by earliest due date or status.

How to Access It​

  1. Open any Project in List View.
  2. Click the Sort button located at the top-right of the screen.
  3. Select the field you want to sort by.
  4. Click again on the same field to toggle between ascending and descending order.
  5. Tasks will automatically reorder based on the selected field and direction.

Sortable Fields​

1. Standard Fields​

You can apply sort on the following built-in fields:

  • Name
  • Priority
  • Start Date
  • Due Date
  • Estimation *
  • Story Point *
  • Created On
  • Updated On
  • Logged Time

Note: Fields marked with * appear only if the related Project Features are enabled in Project Settings.

2. Custom Fields​

Sort is supported for the following Custom Field types:

  • Text Box
  • Dropdown
  • Rating
  • Date
  • Time
  • Date & Time
  • Email
  • Radio Button
User-Specific Sorting​
  • Sorting is user-specific. Each user can apply their own sort order, and it won’t impact how others view the project.
  • The sort preference is saved per project—so when a user returns to the project later, their sort order is preserved.

Saving Your Changes​

When you make any changes in the Sort panel:

  • A banner will appear: “This view has unsaved changes.”
  • You’ll see a Save button and a Cancel (❌) icon.
  • Click Save to apply and store your selected sort order for this project.

📝 Notes​

  • Sorting is applied section-wise. If your project uses sections, the tasks within each section will be sorted independently.
  • You can only apply one sort criteria at a time (single-field sort).
