I have two custom single-select fields. One used for grouping, another for sorting. In the project task list I have all tasks grouped by first custom field, however they are not sorted by second field inside the group. When I turn off the grouping and sort them by both fields this sorting works fine. However I’d like group and sort tasks inside the group. Please advise. ---

Hi @Dmitry_Zakharchenko , welcome to the forum 👋 Are you able to share a screenshot? Generally, you can use the Group by button to create ‘sections’ in your List view. And then use the sort button to sort eithin those grouped sections. If you are apply a subgroup in the Hroup by button, that will simply create subsections in your List view, it won’t sort tasks. ---

This is happening to us as well. We are grouping by 2 custom fields and then trying to sort by a third. It says it’s sorting/reverse sorting, but nothing changes. Here are the “Group By” selections: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/7/2/723e71d459a25a1453db74ca82d708da4f7e6734.png) Here is our “Sort” selection: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/7/0/70d4f491a189c3b80a915f3f6f0859d14a180517.png) ---

@Dmitry_Zakharchenko - I’ve moved this bug over to the [Bugs - Asana Forum](https://forum.asana.com/c/forum-en/bugs/61) portion of the forum, since it seems the same issue is happening in several of my client accounts and it does seem to be a bug. @Richard_Sather - I’m new to the process of moving posts. Do you know who we are supposed to @mention here? ---

Hi @Dmitry_Zakharchenko , thanks for sharing those. That clearly looks like it’s not the expected behaviour of this recently launched feature! Hoping @Vanessa_N can escalate this 🙏 ---

Hi everyone, thanks for flagging this. I’ve been able to reproduce this issue on my end, so I’ve escalated the case to our Developers for investigation! ---

Thanks, guys. The sorting now works better, but I still have some issues.

@Dmitry_Zakharchenko could you check if these options are correctly ordered in the field option list (if they’re not, you can drag/drop to re-order). I believe that single/multi-select fields get ordered based on how they appear in the option list. ---

Thanks a lot, guys! I have reorder this in the option list and now it works perfect! ---
