Get an overview of your lists in no time by sorting and grouping your tasks. Grouping collects tasks with the same attribute into separate sections. Sorting changes the order tasks appear in a list. For example, group tasks by assignee to see what everyone's working on. To see which task you've been putting off the longest, sort your tasks by the time they were created and take care of that task today.
Handy options to organize your tasks
Each project or view uses a default sorting order for tasks. If you want to organize your tasks for better visibility, you can group or sort tasks based on specific criteria:
Group tasks by
- Date
- Date added
- Deadline
- Priority
- Label
Sort tasks by
- Manual
- Name
- Date
- Date added
- Deadline
- Priority
Sort or group tasks

- Click Display at the top-right. This opens a menu with several options.
- In the Sort section, click any of the following:
- Grouping, and select how to group your tasks.
- Sorting, and select how to sort your tasks.
Sorting or grouping options aren't shared with others in a project, so you can tweak your views and find which one works best without disrupting anyone.
Sort tasks in sections
Tasks are sorted within their own sections.
For example, if you have a priority 1 task in the last section of a project, and you sort tasks in this project by Priority, the priority 1 task will appear only at the top of the section. It won't appear at the top of the project.
