I have an automation that sorts cards in a list by date, and then by label.  It is now only running the sort by date steps.  Sorting by label has stopped working?

Hi Lauren,

First, check Automation - Activity - Automation log for that rule. Trello’s log shows which actions ran and any errors or warnings, so it should confirm why the label-sorting step is being skipped.

As an alternative, try Board Assistant. Its Automatic sorting feature lets you configure a separate sorting rule for each list, including sorting by labels:
