In MS Project, I have grouped tasks using the group by function however, the groups are in ascending order. I need this to be sorted by start date. Is this possible? Thanks

Now that is useful , most annoying before when summary didnt represent the activities that were in view as a result of a filter.



Many Thanks for that



Cheers

The custom grouping function is extremely useful and I use it all the time, in a whole variety of ways. However, one of the most useful aspects of the group-by function is that you can apply a filter and the resultant value in the "summary-bar" is based on the filtered data. In the conventional MSP layout, the summary-task value doesn’t change, even if you apply a filter.

I have also discovered the customise Fields option allowing me to creat group fields to srt and filter on.



Thanks
