Sorting Table Widget Groups by the Highest Value Inside Each Group (Not Alphabetically)

Michal Korol

Hi Wrike Team,

I’m trying to achieve a specific sorting behavior in a Dashboard Table widget.

I group projects by a custom field (“Object”), and then sort them by a numeric field (“Value”).
However, the Table widget only sorts within each group, while the groups themselves are always sorted alphabetically.

What I want to achieve:

Sort the entire groups based on the highest value of any project inside that group.

Example:

• Object A

  • Project D — 10,000

  • Project C — 500

• Object B

  • Project F — 2,000

• Object E

  • Project A — 5,000

  • Project B — 500

Even though Project F (2,000) is bigger than Project C (500),
the whole Object A should appear at the top because it contains Project D (10,000) — the highest value overall.

So the expected order is:

1. Object A (max value in group = 10,000)

2. Object E (max value = 5,000)

3. Object B (max value = 2,000)

Because the groups should be sorted by the highest project value inside each group.

My questions:

1. Is there any way to sort Table widget groups by the maximum value inside each group?

2. If not, is this feature planned?

3. Are there any recommended workarounds to achieve this ranking logic in a dashboard?

This would make dashboards far more useful for prioritization and portfolio management.

Thanks!
