Sort Tasks in Work Breakdown Structure

By default, tasks on the Project: Tasks: Work Breakdown Structure page are sorted in the order in which you place them, or the order in which they were created. When the WBS is sorted, the Indent, Outdent, and Move buttons do not display on the page. To return to the original task ordering, click Remove Sort.

When sorted, an arrow appears in the column header.

Note: See the Common Features and Personal Options User Guide for more information.
