BUG: Sort by 'Dependency' does not show actual dependency order

[G-Eric]

• Let suppose a root task 'MyList' having 5 subtasks: A, B, C, D, E
• Let assume that A is dependent of B, B of C, C of D, D of E.
  >>  So, I have to terminate E first, then D, then C, then B, then A.
  

How can I have the (sub)tasks displayed in logical dependency order in the 'Tree' view?
Manually, yes, of course. But this solution is not feasible on long term.

( i )  Using the existing sort criteria 'Dependency' is not a solution, as this criterai is a 'Y/N flag (i.e. is there a dependency yes or no).
( i )  Using the existing sort criteria 'Start date' is not a solution, as it can have multiple dependencies and/with different start dates, or even simply no date.

My suggestion would be to have a (new) sort criteria using the contents ( ! ) of the 'Dependency' field.
But this requires a new development: not available.

So, I welcome any (workaround) hint to have the tasks displayed as follows:

- MyList
--- E
--- D
--- C
--- B
--- A

See attached database & image (sort not ok) to evidence the question.

Hi Eric

There's no current way I can think of to achieve what you want.

However, I also consider this to be a reasonable expectation of how sorting by dependency ought to work so I'm happy to consider this as a bug to be fixed in 7.0.

I've also changed your post title appropriately.

Fixed in v7.0.9 - Thank you, Dan
