This blog will explore the new features added to the Syncfusion WPF Gantt Control for the [2024 Volume 2](https://www.syncfusion.com/forums/188642/essential-studio-2024-volume-2-main-release-v26-1-35-is-available-for-download "Essential Studio 2024 Volume 2") release.

## Row reordering (drag and drop)

You can effortlessly organize tasks using the latest [row reordering](https://help.syncfusion.com/wpf/gantt/drag-drop "Drag and drop support in WPF Gantt Chart") feature. This will allow you to adjust the sequence of tasks in the WPF Gantt Chart by dragging and dropping the rows, optimizing the project management efficiency and flexibility.

Task priorities and sequences often change in a project development environment. With our new drag-and-drop feature, adapting to these changes is effortless. You can quickly rearrange tasks without affecting your workflow, ensuring your projects stay on track.

To enable this feature, simply set the **AllowDragDrop** property to **True**.

Refer to the following code example.

```xml
xmlns:gantt="http://schemas.syncfusion.com/wpf"

<gantt:GanttControl x:Name="ganttControl"
                    AllowDragDrop="True">
</gantt:GanttControl>
```

## Filtering

The new [filtering](https://help.syncfusion.com/wpf/gantt/filtering-sorting#filtering "Filtering support in WPF Gantt Chart") feature streamlines your project management process. Seamlessly filter tasks based on specific criteria using an intuitive interface, enabling you to target essential objectives and improve efficiency.

A filtering feature is crucial for selectively displaying or hiding information based on specific criteria in the project development environment. This feature is handy in project management tools like the Gantt Chart, where users deal with large tasks, resources, and timelines.

To enable this feature, set the **AllowFiltering** property to **True**.

Refer to the following code example.

```xml
xmlns:gantt="http://schemas.syncfusion.com/wpf"

<gantt:GanttControl x:Name="ganttControl"
                    AllowFiltering="True">
</gantt:GanttControl>
```

Refer to the following image.

## Sorting

The [sorting](https://help.syncfusion.com/wpf/gantt/filtering-sorting#sorting "Sorting support in WPF Gantt Chart") feature allows users to organize tasks easily, adding clarity and structure to project workflows. Users can arrange tasks based on specific criteria like start date, end date, task ID, task name, duration, and more. This intuitive feature helps project managers prioritize tasks effectively and streamline project workflows.

To enable this feature, set the **AllowSorting** property to **True**.

Refer to the following code example.

```xml
xmlns:gantt="http://schemas.syncfusion.com/wpf"

<gantt:GanttControl x:Name="ganttControl"
                    AllowSorting="True">
</gantt:GanttControl>
```

Users can effortlessly transform the appearance of their Gantt grid, Gantt schedule, and Gantt chart using a variety of built-in themes.
