The only sort options available for Grouping are ascending or descending. By
inserting a sequence number in front of the text you are grouping on, you can
sort by the sequence you specify. For example, 01Requirements Analysis,
02High Level Design, etc. This results in Groups in the correct sequence, but
with Group by Summary names like "Text1: 01Requirements Analysis". Another
text field can be used to strip off the undesired characters (mid([Name],
10,999)), resulting in "Requirements Analysis", etc.
I have suggested to Microsoft adding "Sort Field" options under "Order" in
the Group Definition Box. While waiting for Microsoft to possibly add the
suggested feature, does anyone have any ideas on how to use similar trickery
to sort Group By Summary tasks by date?
