How do I sort (reorder) cards in a column?
You can define the order in which you see your cards within a column with Drag.
How do I sort cards?
There are 2 ways of doing it:
1. Drag cards for custom sorting
Simply drag emails up and down to change the order of the cards the way you want.
2. Sort button for structured sorting
For a more structured sorting, you can use our sort button that allows you to sort cards by:
- None (manual)
- Newest first
- Oldest first
- Unread first
- Due date (newest)
- Due date (oldest)
To use this option:
- Click on the drop down menu next to the board title
- Select your option in the drop down menu
How does Drag differentiate email cards and task cards when sorting?
These are the expected behaviours for email cards and task cards for each one of the sorting options:
Newest first
Emails will be sorted based on the date of the latest message in an email thread. Tasks will be sorted based on their creation date.
Oldest first
Emails will be sorted based on the date of the latest message in an email thread. Tasks will be sorted based on their creation date.
Unread first
Emails will be sorted based on their status read / unread in that specific board, for that specific user (note that in shared boards, it is possible to have the same email with different read / unread status depending on the user). Tasks will always be considered "read" status.
Due date (newest)
Emails with due dates will be sorted by the most recent due dates on the top. Emails without due dates will be considered older than the oldest due date available. The same logic applies for tasks.
Due date (oldest)
Emails with due dates with be sorted by the oldest due dates on the top. Emails without due dates will be considered older than the oldest due date available. The same logic applies for tasks.
