98% of users should hide completed tasks using the filter option 
putting something at the bottom is usually useless because you wonāt be able to find anything there anyway. And if you do, like once every full moon, you use the search or change the filter.
The 2% that want to see a complete task where it sits (it happens to me sometimes) donāt want Asana to mess up with their order.
Thatās a fair point. Thanks Bastien. I too generally prefer to hide completed tasks. But how about subtasks? The hide completed tasks filter does not seem to apply to subtasks. Or am I missing something?
Pretty goofy saying āputting something at the bottom is usually uselessā¦ā on a thread filled with requests asking for just that. Obviously itās not useless to everyone requesting it. Further, the reason we instinctually assume that completed tasks go to the bottom of the list is because weāve used other programs and apps outside Asana. These apps operate like this because they understand the functionality of it, and they shared the human intuition that completed tasks need to go to the bottom of lists.
Asana is awesome, which is why itās surprising to see this ongoing neglect of an obvious, oft requested, practical, and extremely useful feature.
@John_Futch I was not reacting to the entire thread but only the comment from Richard. And I did not say it was useless to everyone, because obviously this thread exists, it seems to me useless to most and not aligned with the way the tool was created. If Asana canāt find a way to fix it without adding yet another button, I am sure it would be not be added as a feature. (personal opinion, not reflecting Asanaās)
Thanks for clarifying. And Iām with you that often itās best to just hide completed tasks instead of send them to the bottom. Itās just that for certain projects we do, when Iām overseeing the project I often need to glance back at completed tasks to make sure we indeed created a task for that to-do. Have you heard anything about whether this is being considered as an update, or are we wasting our time on a lost cause here? 
I havenāt heard anything. But a simple way would be to add a ācompletion statusā option for sorting 
Sounds good, thank you 
Or if you are really desperate not to hide you could make a completed tasks section and a rule that puts them in there upon completion?
This may be the straw that broke the camelās back. On a full list of subtasks, when you click āAdd Subtaskā, it appears nothing happens. To open the newly created subtask you have to unhide and scroll. This is stupid and has been on the forum for a long time. Iām now officially in the market for a new project management solution. Asana is unresponsive.
Hi Thereā¦for my 2 cents worth, I also think this would be a great feature to be integrated into Asana please
Following - I also would like to see this implemented for both the Board and List view. Itās interesting that they have tasks set up to move to the bottom of the list on Calendar view but not on the others!
Hereās workaround. Add the āCompleted onā column and sort ascending. It would be nice to automatically do this but this seems to work okay for now.
