Cannot sort Card view by Assigned to column
Hello
I am using Smartsheet to allocate tasks for projects which i use gantt and grid view for.
My team need to look at their tasks allocated to them in card view, but i am not able to sort the card view by the assigned to column
I do have multiple contacts enabled in the assigned to column, would this cause the problem?
What would be causing this?

Hi Abby,
Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment (see below for details), but it's a great idea!

Hi Max,
You are correct that only single-contact columns will appear as lane options in card view. If you want to use your "Project Leader" field as a lane in card view, I would suggest leaving it as a single-contact column in all of your sheets. You could add a second column called "Project team members" (and turn on "Allow multiple contacts per cell" in that column) in order to track any additional people. That way, you always have a single leader that you can show in card view & can add as many additional team members as you want in the other column.
For context, we don't currently allow multi-contact fields as lanes, because there isn't as clear a way to visualize these lanes in card view that would be unambiguous and useful for customers. That said, we'd love to know how you would expect this to work. For a card that's assigned to multiple people, would you expect the card to appear multiple times, under each person's lane? Or would you expect there to be a separate lane for each permutation of assignees, e.g., Person A, Person B, Person A & Person B (though this could lead to quite a few permutations with more people)? Or something else?
Best regards,
Daniel
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic weekend!
