How to Sort Data in Pronnel

When managing a high volume of leads, tasks, or complaints, having the ability to view data in a specific order is essential. Pronnel’s sort feature empowers you to organize your items exactly the way you need. Whether you’re prioritizing tasks, tracking deadlines, or reviewing progress, this tutorial will show you how to use the enhanced sort functionality—including multi-criteria sorting—to streamline your workflow and get the most relevant view of your data.

Accessing the Sort Feature

Using the sort feature to organize data in your preferred order.

Navigate to your list of leads, tasks, or complaints. On the top-right corner of the screen, you'll find the Sort button. Clicking it opens up powerful options to structure your data visually.

Available Sorting Options

Default sorting options for easier data organization.

Pronnel provides a variety of default sorting options to help you make sense of your workflow. These include:

  1. Priority
  2. Assignee
  3. Title
  4. Bucket
  5. Bucket Sequence
  6. Create Time
  7. Created By
  8. Last Update
  9. Start Date
  10. End Date
  11. Relevance
  12. Comments

Control Order with Ascending/Descending Toggle

Click arrow icons to sort in ascending or descending order.

Each sorting option includes dedicated ASC (Ascending) and DSC (Descending) buttons. These allow you to fine-tune your list display—such as viewing items with the earliest deadline or the highest priority on top.

Support for Custom Attribute Sorting

In addition to system-defined fields, Pronnel allows you to sort using any custom attributes you’ve configured for your board. This ensures that the sort functionality adapts to your unique processes.

Multi-Level Sorting for Precision

Pronnel’s multi-level sorting allows you to sort your data using multiple fields in a defined sequence. When you apply multiple criteria—like Priority (Ascending) followed by Created Date (Descending)—Pronnel processes the sorting step-by-step. The system uses the first field (e.g., Priority) as the primary sort layer, then applies the second (e.g., Created Date) within that result, and so on. Each applied field is marked with a number to show the exact order of execution—so it's easy to see which sorting rule comes first, second, or third.

This layered sorting approach brings clarity to your workflows—helping you quickly surface what’s most relevant. Instead of manually scanning through mixed data, you can stack your sorting rules to drill down with precision, making it easier to track deadlines, spot high-priority items, or view entries based on any custom logic you need.

Combine Sort with Filters

You can pair sorting with filters to get highly targeted views—like sorting only the tasks assigned to a particular team member by Priority. This combination enhances visibility and focus. You can also save your filtered + sorted views as reusable presets.
