Is it possible to sort My Tasks by Due Date and still keep the ‘Today’, ‘Upcoming’ and ‘Later’ sections? I usually work in My Tasks without any sorting, because this way I can quickly see which tasks I want to work on that day. However, it would be great to also sort my tasks by Due Date within these categories. Especially picking tasks from the ‘Upcoming’ section and putting them in ‘Today’ would be way easier, because I usually decide that depending on the due date (and sometimes I can’t sort all tasks in the morning yet). Not sure if this is possible, though. Otherwise, it would be a great addition to Asana, if one could sort My Tasks by more than one factor.
Why don’t you create two separate searched. In one you pick the tasks you have in your “Today” and in one you have those in your “Upcoming” and you custom sort all of them. I know it is not like having both information at the same time, but it will achieve what you need in two pages, and it is easy to move tasks from one to the other.
Thanks for the suggestion! For now, I just use the due date sorting mechanism and then, once I put everything in ‘Today’ that really needs to be done, I switch back to ‘None’. Your version would basically give me a different work around with the same effort. I think this could only be solved by Asana. Until then, I definitely know how to solve my problem - just a bit slower
Agreed, I’d also like to be able to sort ALL my tasks by due date at once, and also be able to see any tasks that don’t have an assigned date as well. Appreciate the suggestions from the community here though.
Right now you can’t really combine sorting options. I work in the standard Today, Upcoming and Later views but manually sort my tasks based on priority (often based on due date/time).
Paul, I saw you rearrange the tasks listed for “today” according to the order that you were planning to do them in your weekly review video. I know how to rearrange tasks within projects, but not in the “my tasks” view. Besides assigning a due time, is there another way?
Bridge24 for Asana has a grid view that allows to sort your tasks by any field you want, including date fields and custom fields. More than that, you can do multi-sort, so you can sort by project, then by section, etc. This feature is available for the My Tasks page, or any other context.
I have organized my daily repeating tasks in priority order under 4 sections. However, once I have checked them off as completed on Monday, on Tuesday they re-populate but are no longer under their correct section nor are they in the correct priority order. How do I get this format to stay the same each day?
Hi @paulminors, I figured it out eventually. I have to say, I am going to have to make some decisions on what type of sorting would benefit me most (the due date sorting becomes massively useful when running multiple projects).
Thanks for clarifying.
