Quick Sort Card View (Sheets and Reports)

Patrick Pilvines

Allow users to sort card lanes (individual lanes) both in sheet and card view in order to ease workflow. This is a fairly common features in most Kanban softwares and would be a welcome addition to improve Smartsheet.

Ideally this would be something a user could do themselves OR is an automation or report level standard (e.g. like in grid view how you can sort by dates, titles, etc.)

It would be very helpful to have the ability to sort in card view. For example, one of our use cases is tracking sales opportunities in a sheet and we like to use card view to visually see the opportunities by expected close data (Q1, Q2, etc.) and/or other data dimensions (opportunity stage, etc.).

As we review each stage or timeframe, it would be helpful to sort the cards to bring the higher value opportunities to the top. Or, the opportunities at higher risk, etc. today, we have to scroll through the list manually

In addition, being able to sort cards BY DATE would be helpful to track higher priority projects/tasks. Just like Patrick said, sorting cards is commonplace in other relational databases so this is a feature that would be extremely useful on SS. Thank you for the consideration!

Yes, PLEASE to all of the above! I'm afraid without this my team is going to want to abandon this solution altogether since card view was how I got everyone on board to begin with, just to realize it's slowly us down with these limitations.

We need a feature to be able to sort the card view by either due date or priority or both. the sorting feature on the grid view is perfect, just need it to be able to apply to the card view and be automatic.

Yes please! Sorting in card view takes a lot of time. It would be a huge improvement if the sort order from Grid View carried over to Card View.

Ammon Keller

PLEASE implement!!!! Manually sorting the cards is very time-consuming. My team and I would greatly appreciate this feature.

It would be great to be able to sort by date in Card View.

We run a production workflow with card view and integrate with Zapier to another platform. Each program has specific due dates and priorities. At present, we have to move back and forth to grid view to sort and explore where our many projects are relative to priorities and due dates. We love the card view but when we reach a large number of active projects (for us this is just over 200+) the whole card view gets a bit clunky and unwieldly especially as any sorting in grid view isn't reflected in card view. This is understandable, but if we were able to do a sort in card view and then within that sort, be able to then make manual moves to fine tune the results - that would be fantastic!!

Implement please

Definitely need to add the date option in Card View!

Updated on 7/23!? Are there any new updates on the status of this? It would be great to at minimum have the sort functionality in the grid view translate over to the card view. Looking forward to updates.

Has this function still not been added?

Patrick Pilvines

@CAS the CSA so far no. Has continued to be a pain to walk users through and transition them from other products such as Trello, Lists, etc. that have this function natively.

That's really unfortunate: I would have loved to have tasks grouped in lanes by urgency and sorted by importance, or vice versa.

Additionally it's frustrating if a card gets manually moved, then it never goes back to the order it was in.

Well its clear the Smartsheet team doesn't actually value the suggestions made through this platform being that there has been no update for an entire year and no improvement for almost 2 years. Especially considering the most recent updates didn't address and just provided an obfuscated feature that is the same as the previously offered card view only prettier.

As identified in the original post "This is a fairly common features in most Kanban softwares and would be a welcome addition to improve Smartsheet."

I guess it is time to go to software that actually works for what I need it for.
