Gang Board Sorting - Implementation Notes

Goal

Sort tasks by last updated date (descending) so the most recently updated tasks appear at the top of each section.

Files Modified

1. src/components/BacklogView.tsx

Added sorting to three areas:

• Current sprint tasks
• Backlog tasks
• Other sprint sections

// Sort tasks by updatedAt (descending) - latest first
const sortByUpdated = (a: Task, b: Task) => 
  new Date(b.updatedAt).getTime() - new Date(a.updatedAt).getTime()

2. src/components/SprintBoard.tsx

Added sorting to sprint board columns:

const sprintTasks = tasks
  .filter((t) => t.sprintId === selectedSprintId)
  .sort((a, b) => new Date(b.updatedAt).getTime() - new Date(a.updatedAt).getTime())

Where It Applies

1. Backlog View - All task lists sorted by last updated
2. Sprint Board - Tasks in each column sorted by last updated
3. Current Sprint Section - Tasks sorted by last updated
4. Other Sprints Sections - Tasks sorted by last updated

Testing Checklist

• Open backlog view - most recently updated task appears at top
• Open sprint board - tasks sorted by last updated in each column
• Edit a task - it moves to top after save
• Create new task - appears at top of its section
