Sorting order of projects

By default, the projects overview sorts projects by their Date, newest first. Every project has a Date setting in Project settings. When you create a project, its Date is set to the moment you created it, and you can change it. You can also sort the overview by creation, modification or publication date instead.

Projects run left to right and top to bottom, so with the default sort the project with the latest Date comes first. When the overview shows the tile for creating a new project, that tile takes the first position and the newest project follows it.

Changing the sort order of the overview

To sort the projects overview by a different date, use the filter button in the overview header:

1. Go to the projects overview.
2. Click filter in the top right of the header. The button only appears when the overview contains more than five projects.
3. In the Sort projects dropdown, select one of the options:
4. • Project ranked by date: sorts by each project's Date setting. This is the default.
   • Created: sorts by the date the project was created.
   • Modified: sorts by the date the project was last changed.
   • Published: sorts by the date the project was last published live.

Every option shows the newest projects first. The sort order goes back to Project ranked by date when you close the filter bar or reload the dashboard page.

Changing a project's date

A project's Date setting decides its position in the projects overview when the overview is sorted by Project ranked by date, which is the default. To change it:

1. In the projects overview, point to the ... button on the project's thumbnail to open its menu, then click Settings. Alternatively, open the project and click Project settings in the left sidebar, below the project thumbnail.
2. In the Basic information tab, set the Date field, below the Title field.
3. Click Save.

A later Date moves the project towards the start of the overview; an earlier Date moves it towards the end.

Frequently asked questions

Why don't I see the filter button in the projects overview?

The filter button, which lets you change the sort order of the projects overview, only appears when the overview contains more than five projects.

Why did the sort order of my projects overview go back to the default?

The sort order of the projects overview goes back to Project ranked by date (each project's Date setting, newest first) when you close the filter bar or reload the dashboard page. To use a different order, click filter and choose an option under Sort projects again.

How do I move a project to the start of the projects overview?

Give the project a later Date than the other projects. Open the project's settings (in the overview, point to the ... button on the project's thumbnail and click Settings in the menu), set the Date field in the Basic information tab, and click Save. This works when the overview is sorted by Project ranked by date, which is the default.
