How to Manually Adjust the Order of Elements in Gantt

    Note: Users can only arrange activities, tasks, milestones, and groups within their respective parent boundaries


  2. After dropping an element, up and down arrows will appear next to the 'S/N' (Serial Number) of the element, indicating that the element has been manually positioned

    Note: For projects imported from P6 or MS Project, any changes to sort order will be automatically saved

How to Undo the Manually Adjusted Order

  1. Hover on the up and down arrow next to 'S/N' (Serial Number) of the element that has been manually moved

  2. ​Click “Undo”


Note: The element will revert to its default position in the order, which is sorted by start date. The undo feature is only available for projects created from scratch in Planera, projects imported from P6 will save automatically if the WBS order is manually adjusted.
