It would be great if you could organize tasks vertically automatically using some kind of criteria or even have actual swim lanes that defines how the tasks are grouped vertically

@John_Douglas, I’m deleting my post. Made it Friday afternoon and obviously wasn’t operating at my best. I totally missed that you were referring to Timelines, in my head I was thinking of Boards.

Hey @John_Douglas and @RyanE! I just wanted to let you know that we are currently in the process of rolling out Columns for Board Projects: [Sort your Board Projects Timeline by Column!](https://forum.asana.com/t/sort-your-board-projects-timeline-by-column/49219)

I think that this could be exactly what you are looking for 💪
