I agree! Having something like a category or section on a team page would be helpful…then being able to sort within each category or section.
Was there an announcement email about this change and I just missed it? I hate logging into the software and being surprised when things have moved (again).
Anytime stuff is moved, there should be a notification that tells us “Hey! Heads up! Your projects will soon be sorted in alphabetical order and any order you previously had will be lost”.
Hi Katie, I don’t think you would receive an email announcement of this change, but I agree it would be useful!
For what it’s worth, here is the public announcement as I mentioned, above here:
Ditto that removing this feature has messed up our whole teams organising system of 40+ projects in our team.
This needs way more votes!
I would love a preview of what exactly are the “more things to come on the Team page,” because the current update makes me concerned about future updates - not particularly excited about them.
Just voted. It is now Jan 2025 and it is STILL an issue. Asana software is no where near as user-friendly as it was a couple of years ago. I’m very disappointed in this and other issues I’ve been having. Anybody tried Trelo?
you can star the projected and then under the starred label manually rearranged the projects.

Just started a trial.
Project orgnanisation both within and outside of Portfolios is severely lacking - a complete UX fail in my opinion.
I am not going to explore other features - this alone is a showstopper for me.
Hopefully this gets resolved for all users.

Wonder as a temporary fix it helps people to add a number or prefix to project names, and then have them sorted alphabetically puts them in the way you/your team works with them. A benefit of this is that you can have it apply to everyone in the team (if they sort alphabetically).
I like the idea of sorting by colour too that someone mentioned, although then what colour order would that be? 
Having said that, I do understand that different people in a team will have different priorities/workflows, and a custom sort order would be ideal for that, so I’m happy to vote for this. Certainly, I appreciate being able to have my own sort order in the nav bar/favourited items.
I don’t have the option to “Pin”. Plus, my “starred” projects aren’t even showing up in the starred section. I created a new project today and it’s listed last but the most important project I’m working on now. Frustrating!
Not being able to sort projects manually could be a deal-breaker for my team, which is in the very early stages of switching to Asana. I anticipate having more projects than will fit on the screen. Our teams overlap significantly, so sorting that way won’t help. Please, please, bring back manual sorting!

July 2026 and this still isn’t implemented. There are like 3 threads with this same topic totaling dozens of votes. How long until Asana gets this message?
