# Sorting in the Activity Timeline

Both upcoming and overdue activities and past activities can have different sort orders.

- **[Sorting Options for Upcoming and Overdue Activities in the Activity Timeline](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.activitytimeline_sorting_future_activities.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    You can sort upcoming and overdue activities in one of two ways. The sort order is up to your preference.
- **[Change Sorting for Upcoming and Overdue Activities](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.activitytimeline_sorting_future_task.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    When you sort a list of upcoming and overdue activities, the sort order is up to your preference.
- **[Sorting Options for Past Activities in the Activity Timeline](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.activitytimeline_sorting_past_activities.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Past activities can be sorted in one of two ways: the date the activity was due, or the date the activity was completed. If there’s no due date, or the due date is in the future, the last modified date is used.
- **[Change Sorting for Past Activities](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.activitytimeline_sorting_past_activities_task.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Past activities can be sorted in one of two ways: the date the activity was due, or the date the activity was completed.
