The new Projects beta is a fantastic way to consolidate a lot of information but it would be great to be able to have more sort options, such as sorting by the last time an issue was updated, or the date it was created.

Yes please!

Specific use case - I want to have a view for "Recently Completed", which would be the "status = done" (custom field), sort by closed date"

I agree! This feature would also be useful to filter out issues that had gone stale and hadn't been updated in a few months.

Agreed! We are working with projects to collaborate between many teams containing a large number of issues, and it would be very useful to sort by 'last created' or 'last updated' to be able to get visibility on the most active issues.

I would love this as well. The ability to filter by last updated in the past week would really be beneficial to see how issues are moving across the team.

i see in the recent changelog Number and date type fields now support all existing [GitHub search syntax](https://docs.github.com/en/search-github/getting-started-with-searching-on-github/understanding-the-search-syntax) – including >, >=, <, <=, n..*, *..n and n..n. however it seems this only works for CUSTOM date fields? There's still no way to filter by created or updated?

I too am dying for this. I need to order by this badly in descending fashion so recently updated issues bubble to top so I can see what the team is really actively working on discussing.

This would make projects beta much more user friendly for our team :)

This is also our most missed feature.
Every standup, it's hard to see what was changed yesterday.
Every demo, it's hard to see what was done during the sprint.

My team needs a view that sorts by the date an issue was closed.

Added +1. Found this feature request after not being able to create a view with "Issues with least interaction" to find out those that maintainers might have missed.

How is this still not possible 4 years later!? Sort by issue age. Come on! It works fine in plain GitHub. sort:created-asc and sort:created-desc. Just let those work in the filter if there's no column sorting turned on for the love of god.

I would love to have this feature. I thought that it was present and was surprised it was not. It would be really beneficial.

Apparently, this is because GitHub's current policy is no longer focused on user convenience, but, like everything Microsoft touches, is aimed at making everything as illogical and inconvenient as possible. I often need to work with Azure, and what's happening there is trash. I see that GitHub is slowly turning into the same thing. They especially love to take and ban some technology or feature without providing an alternative. Also, the number of bugs has increased.

But wait, there's more:

In a message to GitHub’s staff, CTO Vladimir Fedorov notes that ...

The plan, he writes, is for GitHub to completely move out of its own data centers in 24 months...

To do so, he is asking GitHub’s teams to focus on moving to Azure over virtually everything else. “We will be asking teams to delay feature work to focus on moving GitHub. We have a small opportunity window where we can delay feature work to focus, and we need to make that window as short as possible,” writes Fedorov.

Mmm. Seems like a whole lot of 🦗's from the software people. Do they just hope we'll forget about things? Or maybe go away altogether? Paying customers, after all, can be annoying to deal with if they actually want value for their money.
