Changing the Order of Project Status View

hi Theresa where project statuses are concerned, in "grouping," these are sorted alphabetically... by Key. (this is that 3-character key that you see in the Setup Area, under Project Preferences in the Statuses section). So here's a list of some of my statuses and their keys. When you group, they will sort in this way.

(obviously try this in the sandbox first) (I'm not great at text mode, so I honestly don't know if there's a text mode workaround for this.) -skye

Hi Theresa, I had a similar challenge-- we score projects and I wanted the highest number on top. What I did to fix my report: 1) Remove the grouping 2) Go into the column you want to sort by & select A-Z or Z-A depending on preference (for me, to get the high scores on top, I went Z-A) 3) put your grouping back ON. I did a save between step 2 & 3, but not sure it's necessary. The results I got are attached. Hope this solves your problem! Jennifer Ching Robert Half International Inc.
