The workflow board's columns can sort their cards in different ways depending on what your team's looking for. The sort applies across all your live columns simultaneously and is stored per-device in your browser, so each user can pick their own without affecting the others.
Completed columns are always newest first
The sort only reorders live work. Columns for statuses flagged as completion statuses stay in most-recently-completed order whichever option you pick, so the last few jobs out of the door are always at the top.
The sort options
| Sort by | What it does |
|---|---|
| Booking date | Earliest appointments first. Most useful for "what's next?" The default. |
| Date created | Newest jobcards first. Good for spotting recent walk-ins. |
| Last updated | Most-recently-touched first. Shows live activity. |
| Customer | Alphabetical, A-Z |
| Vehicle reg | Alphabetical by plate |
Changing the sort
The Sort by dropdown at the top-right of the workflow board switches the sort (a small blue dot on it shows when a non-default sort is active). Your choice persists for that device — switch browser or device and the default applies again.
Per-device, not per-user
This is browser-local storage, not a server-side preference. If you swap to a different machine the sort resets to the default. (Future change: may move to a per-user setting.)
