Add Custom Field Sorting for "My Tasks" to sort by task Priority

Thanks a lot Larry! Yes using our own org version seems to work.

Here are the steps for anyone else who comes across this:

  1. I found the project with our biggest usage of this existing “Priority” field. In this project, I “edited” the field, and checked the box “Add this to xyz.com’s field library”. So that fixed it for one project.
  2. I then edited the name of that org-based custom field to Priority__
  3. In all other projects, I added Priority__, and manually made its value match the existing “Priority”. I then removed the existing “Priority” from the project.
  4. When I was finished, I renamed Priority__ back to Priority.

And then I reviewed all the existing templates for our teams, and for any that had a field “Priority”, I removed it, and then replaced it with the new “Priority” associated with our organization.

It wasn’t too bad, since fortunately we didn’t made heavy use of the existing “Priority”, so a manual fix worked well enough.
