    The latest update for the desktop version of Project is: Version 2402 (build 17328.20142 CTR) released on Feb 28. I suggest you update although it won't change the issue you're posting about.

     

    Why are all your tasks manually scheduled? In my view, is a user wants to use manual scheduling, they might just as well use Excel. Manual scheduling is only useful for initial rough draft planning. Once the plan's structure is in place, then all tasks should be auto-scheduled to take full advantage of Project's scheduling engine.

     

    I'm a little confused about what you are doing. Sorting will re-order tasks based on the sort criteria although the outline structure can be kept if that option is selected in the Sort Window. Are you sorting and then applying the filter?

     

    All three of your screen shots show some type of sort is applied. To remove that sort, re-sort by ID.
