an understanding how a Gantt View Widget which is grouped by person is sorted
avoid automatic resorting
influence the order in which people are listed
On this note it would also be great to have more granular influence over the order in widgets in general. For example are subitems not automatically listed below their parent item nor are they grouped together. Instead more often than not one or several subitems of different parent items are interspersed between.
This would be really useful for my team as well! We currently group our items by Priority, with P0-P3 as status options. It would be great to sort the group order in the Gantt view so that the priorities are ordered in the same hierarchy as my statuses.
Right now the group order doesn’t ascend from P0-P3 and it looks quite unprofessional to important stakeholders who rely on this view:
we just launched GanttGo, a marketplace app that addresses several pain points mentioned in this thread:
Sub-items stay grouped under their parent- In GanttGo, sub-items are always displayed directly below their parent task keeping your hierarchi intact and easy to follow.
Manual group ordering- You can move groups up/down to arrange them exactly how you want. This gives you direct control over how people or categories are listed in your Gantt view.
Order preservation- We respect your monday’s board native ordering, so tasks don’t get automatically reshuffled when you open the chart. Also you can add items from GanttGo and decide to which group to add them to.
We have on our roadmap:
sort tasks by date
sort alphabetically by task name
sort by status or duration
Ascending/descending toggle
We’d love to hear which of those is the most valuable to you- it will help us prioritize.
GanttGo is available on monday’s marketplace if you want to try it out.
