Hello,

 I recently created a schedule and have it sorted by start date. I had to add a new activity with same start date and time as my first 2 activities and when I created the new activity it sorted it 3rd in sequence. I'd prefer to see this new activity 1st in the sequence but no matter what I do to the Activity ID or relationships to Start Milestones the newly created activity will only show 3rd in the sequence.

How can I make it so the new activity shows 1st in sequence order?

 

Thanks,

    ARe you using multiple sort criteria? so your first level of sorting should be Start Date, second level should be Activity ID, and so on..

    I have done that and it's sorted by Start Date.  The 3 activities all have the same start date so would I have to have a secondary sort by Activity ID?  I don't want it to sort any of the other activities just this A, B,C  in the order C, A, B.

    I am not using multiple criteria.  Just sorted by Start Date.  The 3 activities I'm working with all have the same start date and I've changed the Activity ID for the 3rd activity to be first by Activity ID.  Do I need to add another sort preference and if so will that effect the entire schedule in the same way?

    Yes it Will affect all the

    Yes it Will affect all the Activites that are being displayed in that layout. The only other option is to create an new code or UDF to manually set a sort value and use this to manually sort the activities you want to have in your own order, overriding the layout order.

    Thank you for the help. I went with a workaround. Just changed the info on the 3 activities to match what I needed. Luckily there wasn’t much detail built in yet and I could just easily change the activity details.
