Description - Some users (either on accident or on purpose) list the tasks of a project by percent complete, start date, due date, etc. instead of by the task number. This leads to them requesting help or questioning if Workfront has had an update that then blocks them from seeing "+ Add More Tasks" below the list and the inability to nest task only discover that those features aren't allowed because the tasks aren't listed by their number. They were unaware that not listing the tasks by their numbers would disable those features.
Why is this feature important to you - It would be helpful for people to know that the way the tasks are currently ordered in will block certain actions to the tasks or projects. While the text and icons for those actions are missing for them, it has caused them to question if there's a bug, did something change with their access level to the project, did something change with their account, or if clearing their cache and cookies is the fix. If they had a visual indication that features are blocked due to the current sorting, that would cut down on the amount of confusion and calls system admins field when listing the tasks by the number ends up being the solution.
How would you like the feature to work - Enabling some sort of visual indication or warning on either the project or tasks that features like nesting aren't allowed with the current ordering of tasks would help users understand what is going on when they try to perform those actions. Something similar to when you try to assign a user to a task when their access level won't let them complete it.
Current Behaviour - There's currently no visual indication that some features are blocked when the task list is not listed by the task number.
