How do I get cards to sort by Checklist due date?

[Emily Bond]

It seems that sort by due date is for the "card" due date only. Is there a way to sort cards based on the due date of items on the checklist?

This is not a feature, though I wish it was.  Please can you contact Trello and request it.  Likelihood of it being implemented is low but worth a try.

As a sidenote, I think this could possibly done via the Trello API, I will look into it and if I have any success I will come back to you...
