messy gantt charts and ordering tasks

[gemma]

Hi,
with projects with a large number of linked tasks it can quickly become a
mess in the Gantt chart, as task orders are changed and added. I know it is
possible to fix this by clicking on the task and moving it up or down the
sheet, but this can become tedious with so many tasks. Is there any faster
way to do this?
Kind Regards

Hi Gemma,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

You could try Project/Sort and choose Start Date to get them all in start
date order. Or choose the Sort By... option and then use the Permanently
renumber tasks check box.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on

Hi Mike,
how funny, this morning I came in and discovered the sort function, then
looked on here and it was what you suggested.
Thanks for showing me how to permanently renumber, very handy.
Thanks very much for your help,
Gemma
