"Priority" status on My Work no longer sorts correctly

The last time I checked, the ability to sort items on the My Work page by a Priority status was working great. I have four priority settings, and when sorted, the highest priority were at the top, and the lowest at the bottom.

Here’s my Priority status settings for both Boards that are currently feeding to My Work:

Today I noticed that, even when sorted in descending order, all of the Priorit status items were not in the correct position:

High is above Critical. Low is above Normal.

I’ve tried cycling through all the sorting options, but none are correct now. Did something change? I double checked my Priority settings before posting (see first screenshot).

Adding one note: In the screenshot above, all of the items except one is from the same board, and the one that’s from a different board has the same priority settings.

I’m also having this issue. It now puts tasks I have as “Default” priority at the top. I’ve tried changing the order of the labels, changing label names, adding numbers for the ordering. Nothing seemed to work. I would use the priority sorting function in MyWork to prioritize my tasks for the day. Now it’s messy and not easy to organize. I hope they find a fix for this soon!

Have you tried numbering them from highest to lowest?
Or creating a partner column where you can do a automation that if critical is mark it would equal 1 and if it’s low it would be 4. And then sorting it that way?

what i figured out:

  • WORK boards need to have the same collor for high, medium and low priorities, otherwise, they’ll show in different groups, sort oddly, etc
  • if I unhide CRM boards from MyWork, the Critical priority will rank lower than LOW priority (remember, CRM don’t have CRITICAL as standard label).

So far, I get only properly sorting if I hide CRM from MyWork AND put the same priority collors in all boards from WORK. Like a workaround, it’s not ideal. i’d like to track CRM altogether with WORK in MyWork.

Yes, I have noticed if the color is different though the priority name and order is the same on each individual board, in My Work it does not get sorted properly. For me, I have a pink “critical” group at the top but my black “critical” items are in a separate group way at the bottom of My Work. This is not ideal for me either.

Have you attempted to arrange them in ascending order?
Another option is to create a partner column where you can automate it so that if it’s low, it would equal 4, and if it’s essential, it would equal 1. And then arranging it in that manner?
