1) Phone Screen Completed

2) Submitted

Create a new column in your table that specifies the sort order for each of your categories ('Phone Screen Completed', 'Submitted', 'Started').

  • For example, the sort order column could look like:
    • Phone Screen Completed: 1
    • Submitted: 2
    • Started: 3

Then, in the Modeling tab in the top menu, click on 'Sort by Column' and choose the new sort order column you've created.
