Sorting the columns

[Pavel Šácha]

Hello,

I would like to sort the columns as per various attributes in various views. For example, when I am in the "Goals" view, I want to sort them by "Due date" column. I thought it will sort the tasks/goals when I click on the top of the column but it does not work. Is it just a mistake in my system or does this function not work in MLF?

Thank you.

Hi Pavel

No, clicking on the top of columns does not sort the column below it. But if you click and drag you can change the order and/or column width of columns. If you right click you can add new columns.

 

Have you discovered the following (in the left hand column) Filter ==> Group & Sort ==> Group by 

and/or ==> Sort 

Note that if you are attempting to change the View being used by a Tab (AKA Workarea) that is Locked, MLO will create (and instantly take you to) a new Tab. This can be very confusing.  To avoid confusion I recommend that you carefully Save your new views.  

If you want to change a View that has been locked by a Tab, one solution is to start changing the view and top allow MLO to take you to the new Tab. But if you save the View that is being used by the Tab, you can overwrite the old version of the view with the new version of the view. This means that the original tab will now be using your modifications to that View. And you can in fact now delete the new Tab that MLO created.
