We've heard from clients that they'd like to be able to sort the Departments in the Crew Planing App in a logical sort order just like Pipeline Steps. At the moment, if you sort by Department, it sorts the people by their Department in alphabetical order:
We're looking at adding a sort order to the Department entity, then allow the Crew Planning App to sort first by Department sort order and then by user name.
Please add your support to this request if you'd like to see this developed.
