Sorting cards in a list in new Trello interface

[Daniel Walsh]

I used to be able to set a card priority and sort my list of cards into priority order. In the new interface I can't see any way to do that anymore. I can't see an option to sort on a custom field (e.g. priority 1-5), and the screenful priority powerup I used to have no longer even shows up in the card modal as an option. 

Has anyone managed to figure this out, or have Atlassian broken this important feature completely?!

@Daniel Walsh there are no changes to sorting functionality in Trello.

Are you using a Card Priority power-up? Are you using a numeric field as priority?

[Daniel Walsh]

Thanks, Victor. Yes, whilst I'd prefer to use a simple Custom Field I realise sorting won't work on a custom field, so I'm using Card Priority by Screenful. However, that powerup option has disappeared from the modal when you open a card in the updated UI, so I can't see any way to add a priority from the powerup anymore. 

The new card modal UI has a whole panel on the right dedicated to comments and activity, but no powerful options...?

@Daniel Walsh it's here:

Ah, thanks Victor. That's helpful, but also disappointing that Atlassian have now made it a 4 click process to use this powerup on each card. Would be so much better UX if the powerup option still sat in the modal itself so it's only 2 clicks to apply instead of 4! 

Anyway, thanks for pointing me to where it's hiding.

The new UI is a step backwards. Burying Power-Ups behind multiple clicks slows down real workflows and makes Trello less useful.

This change makes Trello slower, less intuitive, and pushes people to look at alternatives. At the very least, give us the option to pin our most-used Power-Ups for one-click access. Right now it’s bad UX that undermines Trello’s core strength.
