Tasks in a bucket listed in reverse order from entry

When I create a bucket and add tasks, the most recent is at the top, so they are listed bottom up.  Is there a way to change it so the default displays them from the top down as I enter them?  

Thank you.

  • In Microsoft Planner, tasks within a bucket are typically displayed in reverse chronological order by default, with the most recently added task appearing at the top. Unfortunately, as of now, there's no built-in option to change this behavior directly so that tasks appear from top to bottom in the order you add them.

    However, there are a couple of workarounds you could consider:

    1. Manual Sorting: You can manually drag and drop tasks to reorder them as you wish, though this won't be automatic for new tasks.
    2. Use Due Dates: If you're looking for tasks to be listed in a particular order, you could set due dates for your tasks. Tasks with earlier due dates will appear higher in the list when sorted by "Due Date."
    3. Power Automate: If you're comfortable with Power Automate, you could create a flow that sorts tasks in a specific order based on certain criteria, though this might require some customization and isn't a simple built-in feature.
