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?

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Just here in April 2025 to continue pointing out from two years ago that this functionality is critical to a planning system - PLEASE.
Hahaha. Good luck. We have been asking for this feature for years now. Crickets! I talked with an MVP and they said its coming, I doubt it.
This feature would be really useful and increase the functionality of Planner.
They are well aware of this issue...at this point seems like they are just taking the piss on their clients when it comes to these basic requests. How else would you take this lack of response or action on such a simple ask. Frustrating.
As this is just a community forum, replies can be from other users--not Microsoft--nor does Microsoft monitor these communities (from what I've seen so far). Therefore, we are basically complaining to one another on this one :(
I think this feature is desired by most people and agree it should be incorporated into Planner. In this regard, I looked up how we can submit requests to Microsoft for such things and I found that for Planner we must go through the application itself. Follow instructions below:
Open Planner, go to Settings, then select "Send Planner Feedback" complete the form as shown in example below then click submit. Hopefully if we all do this it will get some attention. In meantime, we will have to resort to moving tasks in the order we desire manually within the Group by Bucket view.
Hope this helps
