Hi, the automation lets me create a board button that sorts all the cards in a particular list on my board alphabetically. Is there a way to sort the cards in all the lists on my board with one button?

Hey @Eignamiðlun ehf ! Welcome to the community :) when creating a board button, you can add multiple actions so that more than one list is sorted like so:

@Hannah Humbert - Simpla Workflows thanks for your reply, but this solution is problematic. Adding each and every list, to each and every button, is time consuming. Moreover, I then need to remember to add any new list to all the buttons.

This type of "technical debt" is a sure way to have problems down the road. 

A much simpler and intuitive solution is to add an option of "All lists" on the list-selection drop-down. Can Trello supply that?

Thanks so much!

COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THIS! 

I HAVE 30 LISTS IN MY BOARD, IF I WAS TO AUTOMATE TO SORT BY LABELS AND I HAVE 10 LABELS, THATS 300 ACTIONS I HAVE TO CREATE FOR THE BUTTON.

THEN WE ADD, REMOVE AND CHANGE NAMES OF LISTS ALL THE TIME.

Surely it's easy to get the action to apply to all the lists of a board

You can sort the cards by clicking the top right of the list that you want to order the cards by.

Can you do this with Label's? I have 30 lists I would need to do it to? I want a board button to automate it for me so that I can show my clients what's high priority
