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?

    You can click and drag while in the Planner app through Microsoft Teams. Then refresh your planner and your board will be sorted.

    I came looking for the same thing. Kind of weird to be a leader in technology platforms in 2024 and still not have a sorting option..

    Concur. Does Microsoft really not understand that viewing a sorted list in a bucket might be helpful?

    How are you getting it to sort by date in the 'buckets' in MS Teams. I've yet to see that capability. The only way you can see it by date is Grid view or when you are using schedule view and choosing 'today', 'this week', etc.
