Task Sorting Bug Microsoft Project 2016
I am having the issue that when I save and close a Microsoft Project at the end of the day, when I come in the following day it has sorted the tasks into a random order with no way of reverting the p...
John-project Unfortunately this did not resolve the sorting that has happened. I've tried a few variations of what you have suggested too. The Project has also filled out %complete tasks too which are not complete, assigned resource to tasks etc. its all very strange.
I've checked the Marcos and VB and nothing there either.
I am going to put a fresh install of Project on and cut my losses with this Project and put it in the bin. Ill see if I have the same error again.
Shane_222,
It almost sounds like someone else has access to your file and is messing with it, have you considered that?
I seriously doubt the issue is with Project itself, I suspect if anything, the file itself if the problem so rebuilding it will likely solve the problem. One thing you might try first is to save the file as XML. then re-open the XML file in Project.
Good luck

- It almost does seem like that, but it is actually saved on my HDD and not on a server.
I guessed that the file had become corrupt for what ever reason but would rather understand how it happened as to avoid it happening again.- Shane_222,
Understanding how a file becomes corrupt is very challenging. If you know when it happened and can accurately recall what you did with the file just before it happened, then maybe there's something to go on. Do you know when and what?- I think it must have been when the file was copied at some point as a back up. I've started the project from scratch and left it alone and everything is fine so far. It will just have to stay where it is
