How do you keep cards from auto-sorting?

Megan Quinn September 26, 2023

I moved a list from 1 board to another, where the cards were auto-sorted by alphabet. It keeps sorting them and I can't keep them sorted after manually moving them back around. It re-sorts them. Anyone know how to fix this?

I'm using the free version and there are no other users on the board.

I have found the answer to my question, though I don't see a delete button for the post.

I had an overarching rule set up for the whole board to sort cards on lists after I added a new one. It has been fixed. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like you can't make the rule for a certain list within a board.

@Megan Quinn can you show a screenshot of the rule? I thought you always had to specify a specific list for sorting haha, so im not sure how you could just default sorting the entire board

When I click on "Create a Role" in the List Options, it sends me here. And I'm not able to change the if statement.Trello Rule.jpg

Ahhh i see its part of a rule sorting the list a card is added in. Forgot about that kind of sort rule hah. 

So are you wanting only a specific list to sort when a new card is added to that list? If so you are wanting to add a filter to the trigger so that action only happens when on cards in a certain list. To do this, you'll need to delete the trigger/if/when statement, and then re-add it. 

If you don't have access to do that, someone else may have created that rule? Could anyone else in your board have made that? If they did, they will need to make that edit as you can see but not change other people's rules.
