Trello Sorting – How to Sort Cards by Date Added

datesortingtrello

Trello is rad. But one thing I haven't figured out:

How to sort cards in a list by the date that the cards were added to the list (or to the board)?

Also, is it possible to show (as a custom field?) the date that a card was added?

Best Answer

You can use Butler for Trello, which is a bot that automates Trello (I'm the author). This command:

sort list "X" by time in list

sorts a list by the length of time that a card has been in the list. You can also reverse it:

sort list "X" by time in list descending

You can apply the command at certain times, e.g.:

every day at 6am, sort list "X" by time in list

Or when something happens to the list:

when a card is added to list "X", sort the list by time in list

With regards to displaying the creation date, you could issue a command like this:

when a card is created, rename it to "{cardname} (created on {date})"

This appends the creation date to the title. You could instead add it to the description or as a comment. Custom field writing support is not yet available because of limitations in the Trello API that Trello have committed to solve.
