How to Sort Employees on the Schedule

In 7shifts, employees are listed on the leftmost column of the Schedule page. You can sort your employee list to change how team members appear when building schedules.

Things to Know


Important: Employee sorting is only available in the List view and List by role layout on the Schedule page.

  • You can sort employees alphabetically by first name, alphabetically by last name, or by custom sort.
  • Custom sorting lets you drag and drop employees to any order in the Week view.
  • If you select a custom order and switch to alphabetical sorting, 7shifts retains your last custom order when you switch back to custom sorting.
  • Sorting changes save for all scheduling Managers across the account and will be maintained when printing the schedule.

  1. Navigate to the Schedule.
  2. Select either the List view or List by role view layout.
  3. Click the employee sort dropdown at the top right of the Schedule.
