Change the 'View' order on a board

The details below were posted in 2021 by someone. I have copied and pasted to here as he was asking for a new feature. Why is this not an option? Crazy that when we create a new view it just goes to the end and there is no way of sorting them.

Has this happened. ?? I cannot find a way to do this on a board level and not user level.

“Currently boards don’t allow custom views to be rearranged in a custom order. We use views to filter the items in unique ways and want to prioritize certain ones by putting them in the front, and putting less important ones at the end. I can mark a view as a favorite so it moves closer to the front, but even that doesn’t allow me to rearrange ordering without refavoriting them all. Would love it if it had drag and drop capability like with item ordering as well as a way to lock/unlock the arrangement to prevent accidental changes.”

Thank you
Lisa

I absolutely agree and am still shocked that here it is almost a year later from your post and it has not been implemented. I understand how things can be difficult to implement if certain structure is already in place that has boxed Monday into not being able to easy reorder these, but even if that is the case, this has to be one of the most basic and highly requested features that Monday has, so why hasn’t it been addressed yet? Monday, please bump this basic feature up in priority.

Does anyone know if there is an app/integration that can do this?

Hi everyone,

We appreciate that there is demand for this feature.

We are excited to announce that this feature is currently under consideration, however soon to be added to our roadmap! We will be updating the features development status in the coming weeks, so please keep an eye on the existing feature request here :star:

This was literally the first thing I noticed that when you create views, that you would want to sort or rearrange them based on your needs, and Monday does not allow it and instead forces you to EDIT all existing tabs to make your order possible…

Shocked it takes 1,5 year to pick up such basic feature.

Unless there is some deep technical reason why it cannot be done in a quick sprint, makes you wonder how (or even IF) Monday is using their software internally …

Hello Bianca. Would really love an update on this. As you can see in August you asked me to track on another feature request called ‘Ability to Reorder Views’ and still nothing. You did mention there would be an update in the coming weeks. How many weeks? Please can you advise us all. Best regards, Lisa

I can’t believe this is not an option! All of the WONDERFUL things I can do with my board and I can’t drag the views around. :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

I just spent 20 minutes searching for this ability because I am a Monday.com newbie optimizing an old board for my team from 2019 and am in shock!

Hi Jessica. I have been saying this for a year!! A lot of other Monday users also agree. It is really frustrating that the tab views are just static and the only way to reorder is to make them default and then make another default and so on till they are in the order that you want. Ridiculous!

It is my duty to add myself to the frustrated group here. I remember I sent my feedback on this long time ago (can’t remember when), and was something simpler such as “can we re-arrange in alphabetical order at least?”… still waiting.

Another simple feature neglected by the Monday.com team. What’s new? Perhaps we will see the feature in 2025. I’ll be gone by then.

Elevate 2023 announced that board view reordering, as well as board view permissions is coming in 2024.

Watching Elevate 2023’s 2024 product roadmap video is worthwhile.

Thanks, Cody. I am curious, why does it take three years?

Not a clue, I’m just a monday partner not monday employee. I’d say the #1 thing was the mondayDB project which was needed to allow working with larger data sets. Lifting the 10,000 item limit (going to 100,000 soon) is probably the biggest thing in early 2024. I consider that 10K limit to be a fundamental problem with the platform that was a roadblock for a lot of organizations. So those underlying “invisible” changes needed to be done first, because all the existing code had to be adapted to them first - before then making more changes (unless you want to cause instability and lots of bugs)

That makes sense. Thanks for providing the explanation, Cody, I appreciate it.

Still not implemented?? This seems like something so obvious that it would never occur to me that it doesn’t exist.

Very hopeful that we are going to get this relatively soon, I believe this was an infrastructure issue, and now that we have gotten/are getting new mondayDB updates this should also be on the roadmap.
