Use * for List name in rules

[Davide Depaoli]

Hello,

I'm new to Trello, and I'm trying to automate some jobs. 

I'm using Trello mostly as a planner and reminder for my customer's deadlines.

I set up as many rules as just the lists, to daily sort every list by due date.

Because have a lot of lists, I have tried to replace the list name with * but it doesn't works, only the fisrt list in alphabetical order is sorted.

My rules are:

every day at 08:00 am, sort the cards in list "List01" by due date ascending

every day at 08:00 am, sort the cards in list "List02" by due date ascending

every day at 08:00 am, sort the cards in list "ListNN" by due date ascending

Is not possible replace them with a generic one as the following ?

every day at 08:00 am, sort the cards in list "{*}" by due date ascending

I'm using the free plan.

thanks in advance 

best regards

Davide

Hi @Davide Depaoli 

There are 2 options here.  You can replace the list by number by using a #

Your automation would be:

every day at 8:00am, sort the cards in list "#1" by due date ascending

My personal preference would be to keep my lists sorted all the time. You can do this by using a triggered automation below:

when a card is added to list "{*}", sort the cards in list by due date ascending

The {*} is a wildcard in Trello automation, this essentially means "when a card in any list"

Hi Mike,

thank you for your help, but I don't have the option of selecting sort the cards in list, maybe because I use the free plan ?

thank you
