control the priority of tasks for the tasks assigned to one resour

[DDDDDD]

I have a question related to the recourses and task dependency.
If I have the following task
Tasks Predecessor Resource
TaskA Res1
TaskA.1 TaskA Res2
TaskA.2 TaskA.2 Res1
TaskB TaskA Res1
TaskB.1 TaskB Res2
TaskB.2 TaskB.1 Res1
TaskX.1 TaskX Res1
So, I need Res1 to start in taskB before taskx.1 but the MS schedule is
starting in taskX.1 after taskA for Res1
So, my question is how can I control the priority of tasks for the tasks
assigned to a certain(one) resource?

Hi,

Insert the priority field, set priorities (1-1000) and in Tools, Resource
leveling, change the order to Priority, Standard.

it didn't work,i just need something to say to the schedule just moveup this
task as this taskb is more important than taskx.1.

Hi,

Let's try to understand each other.
Do you do leveling at all?

 

[DDDDDD]

yes, i do leveling.
i changed the priority field to 700 for taskb and keep taskx.1 500 and
performed leveling as you mentioned.
but dates didn't change.
then i tried to put the priority field to 300 for taskb and keep taskx.1 500
and performed leveling as you mentioned.
but dates didn't change.

Hi,

I did exactlty that and leveling gives me the sequence A, B, B2, A2, X1 for
R1.
You don't have any summary tasks do you? I mean, A1 and A2 aren't "children"
of A for instance?

Thanks alot Jan
i have done another trial.
and it worked thanks again.
i problem now that multiple task are starting in the same time and day for
the same resource, any suggestions.

You obviously make a mistake, but I cannot see which one from here
