Hello Zoho Projects Team,
We hope you are doing well.
We would like to submit a feature request regarding sorting capabilities in Tasks and Issues lists within Zoho Projects.
Current Behavior:
At the moment:
In the Issues module, sorting is limited to a few predefined fields such as: Severity, Status, Due Date, Created Time
- In the Tasks module, there is currently no sorting capability at all
- While filtering is available, it does not replace the need for sorting
Why this is a problem:
In real workflows, users often need to combine filtering and sorting to analyze data effectively.
For example:
- We filter Issues by a specific Status
- Then we want to sort the filtered results by Assignee
Currently, this is not possible and instead, we are forced to:
- Apply a filter for one Assignee at a time
- Repeatedly change filters to understand workload distribution
This creates:
- Inefficient workflows
- Poor visibility into team workload
- Increased manual effort
- Difficulty managing priorities across multiple users
Filtering and sorting serve different purposes and should work together, not replace each other.
Requested Enhancement:
We kindly request to enable sorting capabilities for all relevant fields in both Tasks and Issues modules.
This should include:
- Ability to sort by any visible column (e.g., Assignee/Owner, Priority, Custom Fields, etc.)
- Sorting applied on filtered results
- Support for ascending/descending sorting
- Consistent behavior across Tasks and Issues
Benefits:
- Better workload visibility across team members
- Faster and more efficient data analysis
- Reduced need for repetitive filtering
- Improved usability and UX consistency
This enhancement would improve day-to-day usability, especially for teams managing large volumes of tasks and issues.
Thank you for considering this request and for continuously improving Zoho Projects.
Kind regards,
Ram
