You can sort upcoming and overdue activities in one of two ways. The sort order is up to your preference.
Required Editions
| Available in Lightning Experience in: Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions |
Tasks that aren’t marked complete, with due dates in the past, are marked as overdue.
Items in the activity timeline and the activity history related list are sorted differently. Items in the activity history related list are sorted by due date.
Oldest Dates First
Activities are sorted by their due date and time, from oldest to newest. If several activities have the same due date, they’re sorted by their last modified date.
Overdue activities are listed first, starting with the least recent due date. Then today’s activities are listed, followed by upcoming activities with due dates closest to today. Activities with no due date are listed last, starting with the most recently modified.
| Activity | Due Date | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overdue (not marked complete) | Today minus 5 days | Overdue activity with the least recent due date |
| Overdue (not marked complete) | Today minus 3 days | Overdue activity due 3 days ago |
| Overdue (not marked complete) | Yesterday | Overdue activity with the most recent due date |
| Upcoming | Today | Upcoming activity due today |
| Upcoming | Tomorrow | Upcoming activity with the due date closest to today |

| Upcoming | No due date (modified today) | Upcoming activity without a due date, with the most recent modified date |
| Upcoming | No due date (modified 3 days ago) | Upcoming activity without a due date, with the least recent modified date |
