A way to sort/alphabetize groups

[mbetancur (Maria Betancur)]

Instead of having to drag groups into desired place, there should be a way to sort

We save several projects in one board and it would be great to be able to sort the groups automatically in alphabetical order.

I know that this has been posted, but it’s a closed thread:

https://community.monday.com/t/ordering-groups-within-board-alphabetically/4244/7

It apparently has been submitted as a feature request. Is there any update on this because I know I could certainly make use of sorting groups alphabetically. I think it’s possible via the API, but that’s not practical for daily use.

I second this…as do many others. It’s just bonkers that the ability to sort a board alphabetically by project – the master categories, no less-- does not exist?!

[giangpham]

Yeah, I’m waiting for the monday.com team to reply on this as well.

Please, PLEASE make a way to sort groups. We have a board for installation and maintenance and would like to be able to sort by dates of install or service.

eature request. Is there any update on this because I know I could certainly make use of sorting groups alphabetically. I think it’s possible via the API, but that’s not practical for daily use.

Please keep me informed when or if there is a fix for this request.

Has anyone found a work around?

Hi! any updates on this Alphabetcial Order feature? we have a tremendous amount of group names that we have to sort manually… it’s a pain!
thanks

Much needed capability

Hi all,
anything new on this?
thx

[CNunez (Christianne Nunez)]

Hi. Our company is very new at Monday.com and we already have tons of items within same boards. Has there been an update on how to organize in alpha order?

I see the value in sorting groups and I agree this should be a feature.

However, implement this design change to achieve your desired results today:

Instead of using a Group to separate out your projects, use a Status Column.
The order of the labels will the the order of the grouping when you then Group by the Status column. You can also “Group by” other columns; such as a text or date column.
Save the Grouping to a new View and you can sort to your heart’s content.
Then think of the Groups in different terms for your Main Table. I like to use Current/Active, Past, and Future Groups for my project based boards done this way.
