How are Forecast Tag actions sorted in Forecast Perspective?

How are Forecast Tag actions sorted in Forecast Perspective? And is there a way to control how they are sorted?

Is there a way to just have them sort by Project?
(Or even better, first by Flagged and then by Project?)

I’m guessing the answer is ‘no’ since there are no options for sorting in the View Options for the forecast perspective.

But I have no idea why they end up sorted the way they are. Thanks in advance for any insights.

I believe it works like this: The Forecast tag should follow the same order the tag uses generally. Tags follow project order if the tag’s actions have never been manually sorted. If they have been manual sorted at any point (which, it seems like yours probably has been), it will follow that manual sort and any new actions will be added to the end of the list in the order they receive the tag.

Hope that helps!

Thanks, that does help.

I don’t think I ever intentionally sorted the actions in my tags, but I guess I must have done so mistakenly at some point.

And it doesn’t seem like there’s a way to just go back to the automatic sorting, so I guess it’s stuck like this.

I’m not sure if there’s a better way to do it, but you could make a new tag, migrate your Forecast tag items over to it, and make it the new Forecast tag.
