Milestone Order on GANTT

[ReidCarlberg]

right now it's alphabetical, should be date driven and offer the ability to change the sort order at the chart level.

Would be great to have drag and drop as well, but Date driven makes great sense.

I see that the Milestone order on the Gantt chart is alphabetical. Will you be updating the system so that the order is by date?

I know this is crazy old but I just wanted to put this here because the best way to organize that Gantt is by Date. I spent a day figuring it out and wanted to put my results somewhere.
Milestones PM has two Start Date fields Kickoff__c and Start_Date__c so you can't just input those following "order by" you actually need to use their startDateFieldName. The code will then sort by Start Date regardless of the field name and it will looks like this (starting at line 119):

String query = 'Select '+idFieldName+','+startDateFieldName+','+endDateFieldName+','+nameFieldName+','+completedFieldName+
' from '+objectType+ ' where '+filterFieldName+'=''+mytarget+'' order by '+startDateFieldName+'';

Hope that saves some time for y'all.
