## Sorting grouped tasks

> ℹ️ The below applies to a situation when [task grouping](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/298354243) is active.

**Sorting is initiated by clicking on the column header**

- Only tasks in groups are sorted (groups themselves are not sorted)
- Sorting is possible only for the fields that can be "organized by."

> Macro (multimedia)

Sorting by clicking the header is **disabled when**:

- the sorted column is removed
- grouping mode is disabled (when grouping is inactive, use the "Data" option in the menu at the top > "Organize tasks")

When tasks are grouped, a **sorting action is triggered**:

- By clicking the column header (the first click sorts the task in ascending order, the next one descending)
- grouping conditions are changed
- page is refreshed

Sorting does not reflect field value changes (when tasks are already sorted, changing a value won't trigger an automatic recalculation)
