This can already be done sorting by "task name"

Waleed Elaghil: sorry, but this is not absolutelly correct. Of course that is possible to sort ALL tasks in ALL boards sorting by "task name" as you say. But when we ask for this feature, what we mean is: I have a view with 5 boards. I would like to be able to click on the 3 dots on the top of one of the boards and click on "Sort Alphabetically", just for the tasks within that board, and not the tasks on the other 4 boards! This is incredibly usefull in a lot of situations, and for me would be the better development ClickUp could make on this moment. Thanks.

Hey Joao Jesus! Thank you for your feedback! I'll pass this to the team 🙂

Hey Joao Jesus! It will be great if you can share with us your use-case or why this would be useful for you.

Hello Waleed Elaghil, my use-case is the following:
I use ClickUp mainly to manage workflows and, with the tools provided by ClickUp, I've created a system that works perfectly for me.
Please see the attached picture of one of my Board Views. Generally, my workflows are made by 5 boards, where the information usually flows from left to right. This are my 5 boards, with the way they usually work:
TAREFAS 2 (Long Term Tasks) - This are the tasks that will be done somewhere in the future (and not on the short term). I want to see this tasks in alphabetical order, as the first word (in CAPITAL letters) is a way of grouping subjects.
TAREFAS 1 (Short Term Tasks) - This are the tasks that have to be done in the near future, just after the current tasks are finished. It's also important to have this list in alphabetical order.
PENDENTES (Standby Tasks) - This are tasks that are dependent from other people and that I'm waiting from some kind of feedback. This board should be by order of importance (and not necessarily alphabetical).
EM CURSO (Doing) - This are the tasks that are being worked right now. They are presented by chronological order (the next task to be finished is the first on the list).
CONCLUÍDO (Done) - And finally, here are the completed tasks. Every time I complete a task, it goes to the first place on the list, in order that, at the end of the workflow, I have a full list of tasks presented on the order they were completed.
So, regarding alphabetical order on board view: I only want to see in alphabetical order the 2 first statuses and not the other ones. So, to have an option to "Sort Alphabetically" when we click over the 3 dots on the right side of the Status Name would be great. The ideia is that drag and drop continues to work freely on every boards. But when we go to 3 dots > Sort Alphabetically, on that moment, the tasks under that Status would be sorted alphabetically. Of course, if we drag and drop just after, the alphabetical order is lost, but it will be too much easier if we can sort the all list with just 2 clicks then having to sort it manually (as I do right now), which usually takes a lot of time, specially with lists that have more then 100 tasks!
As many users work with kanban boards, I believe this would be a feature most of them would appreciate.
Greetings.

Agreed, and it would be even better if one could sort just specific column alphabetically while sorting another by (for example) priority. This would make our lives much easier

Nuno Fragoso: TOTALLY agree! I like to work in a Kanban form because I can manage WIP (Work in Progress) better since I am often working on action items from multiple projects.
