Let Us Sort Projects Manually in Sidebar

[Emily_Roman]

Hi everyone,

This is a quick note to let you know the sidebar redesign is now available to all customers. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback and use cases over the last few weeks. We’re committed to continue developing Asana’s sidebar - so your feedback is incredibly important!

Drag and drop projects

From reading the comments on this thread, it looks like you would like to have the ability to drag and drop projects in the sidebar and this is currently possible, see more info below:

@Richard_Sather

Why can’t I sort my projects as I like?
The projects and portfolios listed in this new section are automatically populated for you based on your Asana usage. However, if you are not finding this ‘Projects’ section useful and you instead prefer to list your projects as you want, then simply collapse the Projects section, drag it to the bottom of your sidebar and forget about it there. Instead, create your own list of projects (and portfolios) by starring the ones you want to appear in the ‘Starred’ section where you can sort them in any order you want.

@Richard_Sather

How do I rearrange the order of projects within a Team?
In the Team’s flyout menus of the new sidebar it is not possible to rearrange the order of your projects. To do so, you need to click on the Team’s name to take you to the Team’s Overview page were you can click & drag the projects to rearrange them as you like. Any changes will also be reflected in the flyout menu of the sidebar.

Sort project list alphabetically

@Francesco_Canovi

We rely on their product to propel our businesses forward, yet our pleas for a basic alphabetical sorting feature in projects have fallen on deaf ears.

@Francesco_Canovi thanks for your candid feedback! We are launching the ability to sort projects alphabetically soon. We will post an update in this thread as soon as it’s available: https://forum.asana.com/t/sort-project-list-in-the-sidebar/403

I’m closing this thread but if you have a different feature request, I would encourage you to open a new Product Feedback thread to support each specific request and encourage other folks to upvote it.
