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

So, if you select “due date” from the drop down menu in the “group by” heading at the top right hand corner, and then select “members,” clicking on a specific individuals tasks that you are wanting to see, this will make that particular individuals tasks in a darker shade…but just for the period of time, the persons name is selected (almost acting as a filter). With searching/filtering in this way though, it still puts the tasks in sections of “late,” “today,” “next week,” and “future”.

I am still searching, because I like to see just my own tasks in 1 line and in order of due date (not all broken up, like that explained above)…should not be this difficult to figure out, but yet here we are…if I do figure it out I will repost.

Absolutely agree. This does not answer my question or solve my issue. Grouping everything by due date is a completely different style of organization and more or less negates the usefulness of using buckets in the first place. Might as well use a tag at that point.

We should be able group by bucket and due date simultaneously.

Ridiculous users have to even ask for this function.

Do better.

Hello Mitchell,

• To sort Planner tasks within buckets by due date automatically, you need to use the Group by option in the upper right corner of the board view.
• Select Due date from the drop-down menu and the tasks will be grouped into buckets based on their due dates, such as Today, Tomorrow, Next week, etc.
• You can still see the original bucket names under each task card, and you can change them as needed.
• When you add a new task, it will automatically go to the appropriate bucket based on its due date, and you can adjust it later if you want.
• This way, you can keep the Kaban-style board format and have each column sorted by due date without manually dragging and dropping the tasks.

Hope this helps!
