Yes please! Specific use case - I want to have a view for "Recently Completed", which would be the "status = done" (custom field), sort by closed date" |

I agree! This feature would also be useful to filter out issues that had gone stale and hadn't been updated in a few months. |

Agreed! We are working with projects to collaborate between many teams containing a large number of issues, and it would be very useful to sort by 'last created' or 'last updated' to be able to get visibility on the most active issues. |

I would love this as well. The ability to filter by last updated in the past week would really be beneficial to see how issues are moving across the team. |

I too am dying for this. I need to order by this badly in descending fashion so recently updated issues bubble to top so I can see what the team is really actively working on discussing. |

This would make projects beta much more user friendly for our team :) |

This is also our most missed feature. |

My team needs a view that sorts by the date an issue was closed. |

Added +1. Found this feature request after not being able to create a view with "Issues with least interaction" to find out those that maintainers might have missed. |

One thing this topic strongly suggests... The GitHub team is almost certainly not dogfooding the Projects view! |

Made a simple Firefox extension that can be used to sort by creation or last updated timestamps. Find it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/github-projects-sort-items/
Feel free to give feedback on how you would improve it. |

I've made this project github-add-on-sort-firefox open-source. Contributions are welcome if you are interested in improving it. Feel free to take a look. |

Was convinced I must be missing something with the inability to sort Issues on our Project board by completed/closed date. Apparently I'm not missing anything. This is really important to be able to do for countless reasons. Goes the Github team have any info about whether this will be addressed soon? |

Dear GitHub Project Team, Can you share your access token so the community can address this essential functionality? Or better yet, can you just take care of it? Given how awesome you guys are, it can't take that long. (not being sarcastic) Many thanks, and know that your community believes in you! Best, |

As an expert user of Notion and recovering from Atlassian, it is a back to fundamentals experience, but a few small tweaks would make this spectacular. ...And yes, I am with the resistance :) |

+1 What about |

That might trim some lists. It doesn't change their sort order, which is EXTREMELY desirable — I daresay, NECESSARY — for managing large, long-running projects with many repositories, and many issues/PRs on each repo. |

+1 I've been watching this thread for almost two years now, I think it's time to agree that GitHub is not meant nor ready for serious project management :(. On every turn I run into limitations, or lack of simple features that other project management software includes in the MVPs. I think GitHub tried to convert the humble issue into something more robust, but either they do not have the resources, or willingness to pull through. Most serious project management software will integrate nicely with your pull requests so please consider using something else for the sake of your employee sanity ;) |

From what I can see there, that's all in one repository, for which the usual issue/PR management pages (i.e., https://github.com/github/roadmap/issues/ and https://github.com/github/roadmap/pulls/) will work fine. The problems surface when you try to manage a project that includes multiple repositories, which require a merged management, i.e., a PROJECT. |

I get the sense they're fairly new to Project/Product Management and Roadmaps. I hope as they mature in that practice themselves, they'll realize the importance and usefulness of all these features we're requesting. I'm hopeful 🍀 There are Atlassian "feature requests" (bugs) that have been unresolved for 5+ years - so I'm keenly interested to see how GitHub steps up to Project Management in the next couple years. |

But GitHub Issue Boards are fast and mostly maintenance-free! I value this much more than having a separate team taking care of a JIRA instance. #hiding-in-dark-corner-after-this-comment 😅 |

What is more curious, I've been toying with the integration to Notion - as a database of Issues in my repo. |

I do appreciate that GitHub boards are fast and simple to use, but that also means they are not feasible for more complex projects. I tried really hard to make them work, but I'm always left with a ton of manual maintenance, label assigning, template maintaining for stories, epics, tasks. Enforcing rules whereas in other software things are just tailored to follow agile/scrum, or linking stories with tasks. Yes Jira has outstanding feature tickets, but not for crucial items like date field sorting and filtering. And yes I'm aware of costs of running a Jira instance, but there are other options out there. My point is: |

The new Projects beta is a fantastic way to consolidate a lot of information but it would be great to be able to have more sort options, such as sorting by the last time an issue was updated, or the date it was created.
