Show Start Date
Our company is contemplating switching to MS Planner from another service to leverage our use of o365, but the lack of start date functionality could severely limit our ability to make the transition. To be honest, I'm not really sure how you're supposed to keep track of what's currently assigned to you and expected to be worked on if you can't even sort or filter by start date.
Even worse, if you have a flow that peels and creates tasks from another application, you have to initially reverse sort (from that other application or in your flow) because tasks are created from the top down: i.e., if you have a task that you anticipate starting 1 May (and also other tasks that you know will fall later in the month), you have to add the later-month tasks first, so those tasks are lower in the task list and then work backwards so the first task that displays in the list (representing a task starting earlier in the month) is on top. Thus, it would be nice to sort by start date, so it doesn't matter when I add a task during the month, I can always have that earlier task at the top of my list.
