Option to Set a Default Task Sorting in Field Maps (Beta)

In the new Field Maps Beta version, it’s great that tasks can be sorted by distance, priority, due date, and other criteria. However, there is currently no option to define a default sorting order — for example, to have tasks automatically sorted by priority when the map is opened.

Having the ability to set a default sort order directly in Field Maps Designer would make daily operations much smoother, allowing field crews to focus on working through their tasks efficiently without having to manually sort the list each time.

I need that feature also. It seems something so trivial, hope next release Esri can deploy this solution.

I have a client whom I moved from Workforce to Tasks. This is something they noticed right away. This is an obvious improvement that needs to be made.
