Quick Sort Card View (Sheets and Reports)

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.)

Card View

Hello,

I would like to be able to sort by date in card view. In order to be able to prioritize better in each category.

Is it possible to do that ?

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.

This should have been a day one insight on a card view. Its kind of useless without it.

Fully agree with all comments here and voicing my own need to sort cards by at least due date. This should be a standard functionality.

We need this feature as well urgently… I am wondering that such basic features that would support daily business compared to extensions like recent visual updates and licensing model change etc… are not getting priority. At least it would be helpful to read out the lane order number via formular would help… Maybe a formular function is available already for the grid view, so that based on the resulting value we could sort in the grid view? Has someone any idea? Thanks to the community

I'd love to see a sort feature for Card View that would enable me to define different sort orders for various "View by" columns. Ideally, something like:

The ability to set and SAVE a sort order for a SPECIFIC "View By" column. For example, if I'm viewing by "Status" I'd like to sort on Priority + Due Date.
If I add a card directly to that sorted view I'd like it to AUTOMATICALLY POSITION ITSELF CORRECTLY based on the sort order I've defined (rather than just sticking it at the bottom).
I want to be able to SWITCH to a different "View By" column such as "Topic" and then identify a sort order that is SPECIFIC for that view without losing the sort order I've defined for the view by "Status" in step 1. For example the sort order for view by "Topic" might be Status + Due Date.
Then if I return to View By "Status" I want that sort order (Priority + Due Date) to kick back in automatically so that I don't have to redefine it.
I also want the ability to clear the sort order for a View By column. For example if I cleared the sort order for the View by "Status" then the positioning for that view would be based on the underlying grid view. (The sort order for View by "Topic" would not be cleared at the same time.)

When will we see this long-awaited functionality implemented? This is a common feature we've been requesting since 2022.

We need the ability to organize and sort our card view in ways that better suit our workflows. For example, I would like to sort by project and have critical tasks appear at the top.

Why is this important? In our daily meetings, it allows us to prioritize and address the most critical tasks and actions first, ensuring efficiency and focus on what matters most.

Thank you for considering this feedback. I hope it can be implemented soon to further enhance our experience with SmartSheet.

I'm in charge of helping teams across my organization roll out Smartsheet, and the lack of this feature is going to significantly impact one of our teams. What's the status of this? I saw some "exciting developments" posted from the Smartsheet team as of Summer 2023. The feature was first asked for in 2016 (archives). I sure hope this is coming soon.

Please add sorting card view by dates… please please please…

leslie.g

Yes please, this would be extremely helpful.

yes please

I am completely baffled that this wasn't a key feature of either card or board view. I just spent three hours shifting my tasks out of Monday only to find I'm going to get no actual benefit of doing so. Thankfully I didn't delete my Monday account so I can go back to it. Hopefully Smartsheet will get 'smart' and add what is a critical feature to make these views half usable

It appears that smartsheet is focusing on "marketable", flashy features that bring in new business. This wouldn't be one of those.

We need the ability to sort cards in a lane in Board view by any dropdown parameter available as well as by date….like other comparable products have done for years. Please?
