I have a user who is using a SharePoint list with a gantt view as MS Project-lite. For each Project, there are 4 entries in the list: Project, Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3. Each entry has a reference to the master project information (in another list), a start date, and end date. The gantt view is grouped by project and each group is sorted by start date (e.g. Project 1 starts before Project 2). Our gantt rows currently look like this:
Project: Project 1
Project 1
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3
Project: Project 2
Project 2
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3
My user wants to have certain "promoted" projects that are sorted to the top, regardless of start date. I have created a field for this, but for some reason the gantt view won't promote them even when I have this as my primary sort (e.g. Promoted = yes)
I can group on Promoted Yes/No to achieve the sorting I want, but don't want this grouping row to show as it wastes valuable real estate on the page:
Promoted: Yes
Project: Project 2
Project 2
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3
Promoted: No
Project: Project 1
Project 1
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3
Project: Project 3
Project 3
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3
How do I get Project 2 to appear above Project 1 if it's flagged as promoted, without showing the "promoted" grouping? I can use javascript/jquery in a script web part to achieve this (but don't know the specifics - I'm new to SP scripting), but cannot install custom tools on the server.
