How can I sort Planner tasks within buckets by due date automatically as I add them?

I use a Kaban-style board sorted into buckets for each project. Frustratingly, I cannot figure out how to sort the tasks within a bucket by due date automatically. Currently, if I want to see the most urgent items at the top and least urgent at the bottom, I need to manually drag the task down... which does not scroll down well, so I often need to drag & drop, drag & drop, drag & drop... until it arrives where I need it.

How could I keep this same Kaban-style board format (not list, grid, or schedule view) and have each column sorted by due date, even when I add a new task in?

    Hi Richard, did you find an alternative yet? I'm more than ready to make the switch to another platform and transfer everything... I'm fed up with this. Thanks in advance!

    I swear there used to be a way to do this, before the Planner-Tasks-Teams-Everything merger.

    It is a bit ludicrous to have a planner application not allow sorting by due date while staying in buckets. Grouping by due date is not at all helpful, having the bucket as a tag is just not at ALL what I'm looking for in functionality.

    It is brutally inadequate but you can drag/drop the items within the bucket to manually sort them by date.

    I am using that to limp along until this gets fixed.
