# Enable prioritization by filter

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://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/api-reference/server-api-reference/c_GlideFilterScopedAPI.md).

## Procedure

    1.  In the navigation filter, enter `sys_properties.list`.

        The System Properties list is displayed.

    2.  Open the **sn\_hr\_sp.todos\_config\_display\_with\_priority** property.

    3.  In the **Value** field, set the value to `true`.

    5.  Move the **Display priority** field to the **Selected** column.

    6.  Click **Save**.

3.  Set the priority number for each to-dos filter.

    1.  Navigate to **Employee Center** > **Administration** > **To-dos Configuration**.

    2.  Open a to-dos filter record.

    3.  In the **Display priority** field, set the priority number.
