Enhancement Request: Sort Rows on Predecessors

J. Craig Williams

Are there any short term (-2019) plans to allow sorting a project schedule on Predecessors?

It would give us more options when trying to reorganize the schedule to account for certain scheduling changes. 

Currently I have this in my toolbox:

=IFERROR(VALUE(Predecessors@row + ""), Predecessors@row)

which for single Preds (with no lead/lag or non-FS type), converts them from a Pred to Text to a Number, and for the rest just shows the Pred* so at least I can sort the first Pred and that gets me 90% of the way there.

I assume the answer is "no" but I'd like to confirm that.

* I've seen not difference in sorting a Pred like "1,60" and its Text counterpart, so I don't convert it to text.

Hi Craig,

I'll send you an email - I don't have this on our sort-term roadmap but would like to understand the use case better.

Best,

Kara
