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

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!

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

Ridiculous users have to even ask for this function.

Do better.

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.

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.

I do not believe this is what the OP was asking for. Our team just converted to Planner...only to discover we can't organize our "Buckets" by due date?!?

This is a fairly sizeable oversight on this kind of program and should be a basic feature.

Please advise as to the status of the being built.

Thanks..
