Reordering tasks

Have you tried adding a number to the front of your tasks name.

Does this mean that there isn't a way to reorder by drag and drop? Having to number tasks that may need to be reordered many times defeats the purpose of using an automated solution.

@Geoffrey Hey, welcome to Wrike Community 🙂

When sorting tasks by priority in the List View, you can drag and drop tasks to change their priority: the closer a task is to the top of the list, the higher its priority. The order of tasks stays the same if you navigate to another folder or project and then get back 

Please let me know if that's what you were looking for 🙌

I am having this issue, as well. I have 43 tasks in my project section (no dates have yet been determined, just the task order). I created them in the correct order, and then they got rearranged. I went back, sorted by priority in Table View, and put them back in their proper order. When I navigate away and back again, they are once again out of order! 

@Sara Hey, thanks for reaching out 🙂 

If you manually drag and drop tasks to reorder them by priority in the List View, the order will be there when you navigate away - just pick the sort by priority again and the order will be the same. I get the feeling that it might not have been the same for you when you navigated back to it because you didn't choose "by priority" again. Please let me know if that's not the case, we'll discuss it further 🙌

Apparently it's a known bug. I opened a Request Ticket and that was the update I received... hopefully something that is resolved soon! It breaks at 38 tasks, which isn't an unreasonable number :/

My ticket has been resolved and priority is now staying as I ordered. Yay!

@Sara happy to hear that 🙂

If all tasks are given the same priority, but they need to be ordered, is it still not possible to drag and drop to change the order? Kind of a fundamental need. Aside from brute-forcing by prepending a number, how else can this be done?

Update: It looks like dragging/dropping does reorder, but it does not update the display. Refresh and it does show the update so it looks like there's a caching issue.

Thanks for reaching out Michael Snyder. Please let me know if you'd like to discuss this with our Support team, I'll be happy to raise a ticket for you 🙂

Thanks Lisa.

Hi all, I still have this issue. I can't use drag and drop to move tasks around. all have normal priority. Do you have any suggestion how to solve this?

Is there a drag and drop option to put tasks into a specific order yet?  I tried to number them but task 20 is coming between task 2 and 3 and not after task 19.  That doesn't help what I am trying to accomplish.

Aaron Scott In the Table View (old or new) you can grab the row, using the numbered row on the left - it will turn into dots and you can drag and drop wherever in the schedule to reorder/prioritize it. Priority no longer takes numbering into account in the New Table View. Priority is based solely on last created now, which makes no sense to me, but that's what I learned when I opened a ticket on priority being all messed up. I still use Old Table View predominantly.
