# Enable prioritization by filter

# Enable prioritization by filter {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
If you are ordering the to-dos by filter instead of due date, you must enable the
sn_hr_sp.todos_config_display_with_priority property, add the
Display priority field to the to-dos configuration form, and
assign each to-dos filter a priority number.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_hr_sp.esc_admin

The to-dos will then be sorted by the filter they are associated with. Within each
filter, the to-dos will be sorted by due date.

When defining conditions like case sensitivity or null values, see API [GlideFilter - Scoped, Global](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_GlideFilterScopedAPI&version=australia&pubname=australia-api-reference&ft:locale=en-US).
