Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

There is no big deal on this issue.Your question is self explanatory that, you are using Acitivity id as sorting field. So nothing to do but just click on the activity id Titile until you see a watermark of a small arrow pointing down.

Good Luck
Suresh

Minhas,

Patricia is right. P5 uses a FIFO buffer, so the order in which you copy is the order in which you paste.

Hello Minhas,
Regarding the order you want after copying, on which column do do sort ? By Activity ID? By Start or Finish Date ?
If you want to sort by Activity ID, you should be able, just after copying to change Activity ID in order to sort the good way.

Good luck.
Patricia

Hi Minhas,

Each activity in a schedule has its unique "Activity ID".

If you want to show the activities in the new WBS sorted as in the old WBS, then u’ve to link the 1st activity in the new WBS with a predecessor in the old WBS (or assign a constarinat date to it) and since the activities in the new WBS are linked then after setting the data date and scheduling the programme the start/finsh dates will be updated, u can sort them by start date (By clicking on the column titled Start).

HTH

Regards,
Karim
