Can you sort Inbox to have most recently added at top?

When sorting by date added, most recent items appear at the bottom. I’d like most recent to appear at the top. Is there a way to do this?

What’s up OmniGroup? Is this possible?

Not currently, but if you email omnifocus@omnigroup.com, we’d be happy to add you to our open feature request to add reverse order sorting to the Organize > Sort Once submenus.

Thanks for asking!

You‘re maybe the first complaining about that. Creating an Omni automation dealing with the order of items was always something I avoided. But now I took the time to have a look at that.
The following plugin sorts all root items by their added date. This means the top actions and action groups. Not what‘s within the any action group!

You could set a keyboard shortcut to it and call it from time to time. There’s also the option to trigger it by time (ask if you need that, but it‘s linked to Apple Shortcuts). It should work from any perspective in OF, but only sorts the Inbox.

This version of the plugin sorts the items in the Inbox by their added date in reverse. So, the most recently added one appears at the top.
