Row and Swimlane Sorting

OnePager’s “Project-View Properties” form, “Rows & Swimlanes” tab provides a way to dynamically sort rows and swimlanes. Of course, you can also manually order the rows and swimlanes by selecting them (click in the row or swimlane labels) and dragging them up and down the screen, which will drag along all the markers that they contain, too!

Rows are sorted within a swimlane and swimlanes are sorted amongst each other to determine their order in the overall project view.

Ordering of rows and swimlanes is controlled by the ordering group in the form shown above. There are two ways to order rows and swimlanes:

In the order given in the Microsoft Project plan.

In an order specified by a custom column in Microsoft Project.

When the “Order rows like Microsoft Project” radio button is selected, OnePager will attempt to preserve the order of tasks within rows and swimlanes, as they appear in Microsoft Project.

When the “Order rows by” or “Order swimlanes by” radio button is selected, OnePager will utilize the selected Microsoft Project plan column specified in the adjacent drop-down list to control the ordering of rows or swimlanes.

You can choose an ascending or descending sort order. Numeric data columns from Microsoft Project are used to achieve the ascending or descending numerical order. Text data columns are handled as alphabetical data and used in the ordering process accordingly.
