Features > Task Management > Sorting |
Sorting is an important requirement when it comes to data management, helping users view data in a specified order. The GanttView control lets you sort tasks by task name, start/finish date, and duration through various sorting options available under the Sort button in the GanttView Toolbar. The Sort menu provides Sort By option that helps users achieve multicolumn sorting in tasks.
The following table explains the sorting options available in the GanttView.
Sort Option | Description |
By Name | Lets you sort tasks by their name in alphabetical order. |
By Start Date | Lets you sort the tasks by their start date. |
By Finish Date | Lets you sort the tasks by their finish date. |
By Duration | Lets you sort the tasks by the time duration assigned to each task. |
Remove Sort | Lets you remove any existing sort condition. |
Sort By | Lets you achieve multicolumn sorting. |
By default, all the sorting options available under the Sort button display data in 'ascending' order. However, you can change the default sort order to 'descending' by using Sort dialog. |
