Sort by due date descending

Noah Tarnow February 18, 2024

For years, I had a column sorted by due date descending (i.e., most recent at the top). Suddenly it's sorted by due date ascending (oldest at top). How do I change it back? I sort by due date and it stays as is. There doesn't seem to be any way to get it back to the way it was.

Hi @Noah Tarnow 

It's Mary from Planyway for Trello

You can only achieve it with Trello Automations (Butler). You can use Butler to create a rule that moves cards based on their due dates, effectively reordering them.

You can make a board button to do this...

Thanks, but I tried this and it gives me an error and says there are too many cards in the list. This persists even after I moved several dozen cards to a new list.

Got an email that said "Butler could not run your rule sort the cards in list "Past Events" by due date descending" No explanation beyond that.

Hi again @Noah Tarnow 

Instead of an automation button. Try a rule that is:

 

When a card is added to list "[your list name]", sort the list "{listname}” by due date descending

 

Where you replace [your list name] with the actual list name.

 

To make it apply to any list do this:

When a card is added to list "{listname}", sort the list "{listname}” by due date descending
