Sort/filter based on properties of linked objects?

[JimB]

Hi, is it possible to sort a set based on properties of objects linked back to the set?

For example, say I have a list of projects as a set, and that set has 10 projects with a bunch of Tasks that are linked back to the varying projects.

If I have the project list (set) sorted by modified date, it will sort the table based on the direct modification date of the projects. But, if I wanted to have it sorted based on the modified date of linked tasks, is that possible?

This would be helpful when juggling multiple projects and you wish the see the project list sorting be based on recent activity within the projects, as derived from the linked tasks’ modification dates.

Thanks!

I don’t think such object traversion exists yet. See also this related feature request

Traversing the Graph via queries

I have been building a number of custom object types and enjoying the ease-of-creation of the layout and relations. Whole graph trees are easy to populate. Question: This may already be in the knowledge base (though I could not find it if it is), but is there a desire to build out a query interface to traverse the graph? “Show me all actors who acted with other actors who acted with the actor Kevin Bacon” sort of thing?

Thank you! I could see either of these methods (if implemented) being a solution to this problem, so probably no need for a new FR, I just voted for that other one. Appreciate the follow up.
