    I found the issue by complete chance, Apparently type must not be false (I thought it was default value) in type in capabilities, so it must be defined like.

     

                    "sortByName": {
                    "displayName": "Sort by name",
                    "displayNameKey": "Visual_SortTasks",
                    "type": {
                        "bool": true
                    }
                },

    Now it appears

      Hello - it seems that the Gantt visual is now (in the last couple of weeks) sorting the data by Task as a default.  It used to be by Start Date.  I'm a newbie at customizing but is there a quick way to get back to sorting by Start Date?

       

      Thanks.

        Hello kiliman

         

        You can change the default sort order by clicking "..." (3 dots) in the right top corner of Gantt Chart.

        After that you will be able to change sort order as you want.

    As written in my first message, its already included in capabilities.json. I am currently reading your link regarding DataViewObjectsParser as I suspect that there is something strange I am missing.
