Freezing a task in Gantt View

[ahoughtelin]

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, I searched and couldnt find
an answer to the specific question... and it also might be a really easy
answer that I have overlooked.

Is there a way to freeze/lock a task in MS Project so that it stays at
the top of the list when sorting all tasks?

Thanks,

andy

Not directly. You will need to copy all Task ID's to a Number field such as
Number1 then set the task you want on the top to 1. Now sort by the Number
field.

Hello ahoughtelin,

Are you looking for a project summary task perhaps? See if Tools >
Options, View tab "Show project summary task" does what you need.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
