Sort tasks by Due date

Thanks for your feedback!
With due date options in the Filter menu, and the ability to group tasks by due date category, we’re hoping that this will help Planner users find and organize upcoming dates and deadlines.
We understand there is still an ask for sorting tasks within an existing grouping, please continue to use this thread to share feedback on this.
Cheers,
The Planner Team

When I sort by any bucket, I hate that it's alphabetical, not chronological! Why would the beginning letter EVER come into play for a kanban project management software?

This is THE most frustrating part of using Planner for me. I need to be able to have the individual tasks in due date order within the buckets. This would make using planner 100x better for me.

The filtering feature is nice. However, please allow tasks to be sorted by their priority (i.e., Urgent on top, then Important, etc.)

Definitely need this - seems like such a standard thing, I was surprised when I started using this and it wasn't a feature.

I just started using MS Teams and Planner within it. I discovered this shortfall in my first 2 hours of use. You need to allow sorting by due date within buckets.

I agree that it would be great to sort by due date. At least within MS To Do when showing Planner Tasks. I have about 25 planner tasks assigned to me from different Teams, so I use MS To Do's to help me keep up with all of these. However, they are all randomly sorted within that To Do's browser. It's not even clear what that order is, maybe by when they were assigned? It would be great to be able to sort these by due date.

I’m surprised sorting tasks by due date within a bucket is not a feature. Please fix!

Just invested some time setting this up and now realize that I can't sort by due date. Are you kidding me?

There are so many small QOL features that Planner lacks, such as sorting; the ability to color tasks rather than just the pathetic tiny flags (of which we can't even change the colors or have more than 6 of them); customisable fields that we can then filter/sort on. Come on guys, make the product better!

Sorting by due date, whether by bucket or labels would make searching for tasks a lot easier.

Sorting the bucket by due date is an essential tool.

If you want to be a central component for users workflows - you have to have sorting within buckets. Its simple and obvious that needs to be added and added asap.

Sorting within buckets should have been there in the first place. Please add this feature.
