A release gantt sorts its rows by phase date i.e., phases with earliest starting date are on top, and later start dates at the bottom. This makes visualization for a project with many different departmental tasks difficult and cumbersome. E.g., in a single release one may have a set of phases/tasks for the engineering group as well as for the marketing group, marcom group, etc. These at some point may be running in parallel and/or are synchronized to each other. With the current gantt behavior this means that they are all mixed up and a quick glance overview of the entire project and still be able to see individual departments is virtually impossible.
I would like to be able to move release phases/tasks up/down as I please i.e., a custom sorting format which each phase being colored by its assigned color in details.

We just gave the Gantt chart a major upgrade. Get ready for a fresh look, smoother experience, new master features view, and more.
This new experience now includes the ability to drag and drop to re-order records however you need.
4 years after this feature was released and it still only works maybe a quarter of the time. Anyone found a trick to it?
Staggerlingly, and all the huh? here, you have to re-order by.......dragging the gantt bar itself, not the row.
Confirming the drag and drop ability is not working on my end either.
I'm sorry you are experiencing an issue as it should be working as noted above. Our customer success team will reach out to you shortly to see how they can help further.
Definitely not working for me. Tried multiple browsers. Was about to come back to Aha as this is the game changer for me. Please let me know when you perfect it and I will revisit.
Yes it is! You can now drag and drop to re-order records however you need (up and down, left and right). One thing to note is that releases and phases must be collapsed if you want to reorder them using drag-and-drop.
Is it working ok for you?
Is this in production yet?
Why isn't this a thing yet? Seems like an mvp feature.
Hi @Austin, any update on release of this? thanks
Any update on this? we would also find very useful
Our primary criteria for choosing Aha! was the Gantt view. We desperately need the ability to sort the Gantt view by either by Activity ID and/or manual ordering of the rows. When importing from a WBS (work breakdown structure), the WBS numbers are not a field that can be brought in and despite the rows being assigned chronological id's, they get all jumbled up in the Gantt view and are completely useless for client review or staff (resources) usage. PLEASE provide a solution.
Yes, the plan is to allow manual ordering of releases, releases phases/milestones, and features.
@austin (or other Aha Admin)... Will this also allow custom sorting/ordering of the releases themselves?
Great news! We have a feature actively in development that will allow for this. I do not have a timeline that I can share yet but it is in progress.
Is this still not implemented? Is there a way to work around it? Or should we just use SmartSheet for Gantts?
This is required. I'm not sure how a roadmap tool can be considered complete without the ability to move the product order around. Given they are created in a different order for example:
Product X - Gen 2
Product X - Gen 3
Product X - Gen 1
The roadmap created shows the same order and does not allow re-ordering to
Product X - Gen 1
Product X - Gen 2
Product X - Gen 3
The current roadmaps generated cannot be used in your tool.
A big miss here.
If this were implemented I could better show gannt charts to stakeholders and execs right from AHA. Without showing a tiered structure in a Gannt chart it is difficult for someone with little time to comprehend as the workflow in the gannt looks off. If I can use this to show execs I can help justify the purchase of AHA.
Update please. I've had to buy a 3rd party GANNT product as Aha GANNT is useless without the ability to insert or reorder workstreams etc,.
Any update?
Yes! Yes! Yes!!
