Sorting order of schedule board columns

Posted on by 266

Hello

Is there anyway to configure the sorting order of the columns on the schedule board? I need to order resources by distance but I am not able to find anyway to set the default sort order based on Distance. 

I have already seen the below post but it does not give me any insight on how to sort by different columns

    I just received a response from MS support saying that there is no way to configure the grid on the scheduling board. So basically using the plugin to sort the result is the only option.

    I found a way finally using the Plugin code. I wrote a plugin to run on msdyn_RetrieveDistance action. In this action, I receive the result and sort the result in memory before sending the result as Output parameters.

    It is not possible atm. The only way is to do it through the schedule assistant

    After 2 days of spending time, I could not find any way to configure the sort order.

    To set this as default sort order isn't possible right now, correct?

    You can sort them by distance by hitting the distance column to asc or desc

    Yes I know that I can see the distance on the board. My question is specifically about sorting by distance.

    You can only see the distance when you go into the assistant scheduler. Look at the screenshot below
