When in scheduling mode, you can customise the sort order of the tasks and milestones in the Gantt. See Scheduling Explained for more information on how to access the scheduling mode.
To access the scheduling mode, click on Scheduling in the top bar, next to Add Task.
Then click on Actions and Sort.
A new pop-up will appear. Select the entity that you would like to sort your plan by i.e. end date, duration, key etc. The sort can be in ascending or descending order. Note: The entities available to select from will match the columns visible within the Gantt.
Click OK. The sort order on screen will now be updated.
To apply this sort order to the Gantt view outside of the scheduling mode, click Save in the bottom right-hand corner. The sort order will then become the default Gantt view for all project members.
Any project member can repeat the steps above to change the sort order of the Gantt.
Top Tips
- Any changes made to the sort order are project specific and will impact all project members when saved.
- Irrespective of the current sort order, new tasks and milestones will always be inserted into the existing plan, in the order in which they are added. The sort option within scheduling should then be used to re-order the entire plan.
- Within the scheduling mode you can also drag and drop task and milestones into the order you'd liked them to be in.
- Your System Administrator can amend the columns shown within the Gantt. Please see How to amend which columns are available to users in the Gantt chart [For System Administrators]
