Instead of adding unicorns, add useful things, we pay for features, not animals

Unicorns, just like adding profile pictures in Asana, is what makes the tool nice to work with on a daily basis, it helps with adoption. That’s ironic because the fact that you use a bat as a picture here, instead of your real face, has a real impact, in my opinion, on the quality of the discussion 
That’s the same in Asana: no profile picture, no colours, nothing fun… and the tool is sad to use.
You’d be surprised how much people love flying unicorns…

Pls add sorting of subtasks. We are using Asana for company wide budget cycle planning and use subtasks to track 50+ budgets for different companies we own in alpha order and the budget and pc owner. If we can sort by the other subtask categories it makes it very painful for someone who wants to view their group of companies without being able to sort, and thus group. Sorting the same subtasks by due date also needed. TY!

The fact that this is not possible with likely prompt us to leave Asana…

Same. Per the staff “This is the first step toward making subtasks stronger and easier to use and we keep working on improving so your feedback is very important to make it even more functional!” so we can imply that in nearly 5 years they have done nothing to improve or make subtasks a stronger/easier to use function…

In a lot of cases I have stumbled upon as a consultant, such feedback on subtasks limitations were coming from users who were afraid of having too many projects, so they shoved it all into subtasks… I know having many projects is scary, but it really isn’t that big of a problem, there are ways to make it work!
It would be helpful to be able to see my sub-tasks in ascending due date order within a group of tasks. However, it doesn’t show me the sub-task being due “first” in chronological order. The only way to do this is to convert the sub-tasks to task level objects or by adding them to the project.
Adding them to the project individually basically shows duplicate versions of these items and does not visually help with the project plan view. I was excited about Asana at first but it feels like there are so many little things that are just efficient.

This would be extremely helpful! I spend so much time manually sorting subtasks. Thank you.
Has this been resolved? Can anyone tell me how i can do this? Thanks

This is a real pain point for us at work. Please make it possible to filter and sort subtasks.

I’m here to cast my vote for the ability to sort subtasks. PLEASE!
I’m our department’s admin, so I wear a lot of hats. I already have a ton of projects based on category (a few examples: Timesheets, Purchasing, IT Tickets, Mass Emails & Website, Committees & Events, Budget, Cabinet Updates, Travel) so creating new projects for items that just have a lot of subtasks isn’t feasible.
For example, I have recurring tasks for each timesheet period to repeat annually, so if someone works under me for a few years… there’s going to be a lot of subtasks! When the subtask is marked complete, it generates the next one, but with the same due date. Although it’s a tad annoying, going in to change the year by one digit isn’t that big of a deal to me. However, when the new task is generated, Asana places it just under the task that was just completed, meaning ALL of the 3/16-3/31 timesheets will be lumped together, and so forth, instead of the new one being appended to the bottom (or top, preferably!) of the list. So now I have to manually drag the new item to the correct space EVERY SINGLE TIME.
I too don’t understand why this is so hard. PUH-LEEZE allow us to sort subtasks. I’ve been using Asana since 2016 and we’ve needed this ability the WHOLE TIME. I think we’ve waited long enough, don’t you?

Recently, the development of ‘Hide completed subtasks’ has commenced.
We would be most grateful if @Garrett_Knoll could kindly attend to this matter as well.
Updated to “Considered” given this has been fully scoped and roadmapped! The team is currently working on shipping Subtask Project and Custom Field inheritance as a dependency for this request
