This is fantastic, really useful for us! But why is this being worked on, when a very related, needed, highly demanded, and obviously missing feature has been left untouched since Dec 2021? Sort by "last updated", "created" |

This is great, really useful! Would love to see this enabled in Roadmap view as well! |

It means GitHub Projects now supports viewing issue hierarchies (parent–child relationships) directly in table view, making it easier to manage complex work breakdowns and see progress without switching views. |

This is fantastic and was sorely needed. Please add this functionality to roadmap pages as well, it is desperately needed to make roadmaps viable because without hierarchical sorting it is impossible to make an effective roadmap. |

Just to echo the above comments, this is so greatly appreciated as a new feature, the only gripe I've seen is the duplicate issue problem. Whilst the filter approach works somewhat, it's not reliable as we often have valid tasks that are isolated in nature, and therefore do not have a parent issue. Using the filter approach means we also lose these items when wanting the hierarchy view. |

@evi-liu An additional issue I have found is that if you are relying on a filter to remove the duplicate items in hierarchy view, then you can't drag and drop child items into an order. You can only drag top level items that have an issue number. IMO the end goal here is to have a tree of items which you can drag and drop into an order. (Assuming there is no sort applied.) |

It would be so cool to have the same thing for board layout, where parent issue would encapsulate their related child issues, rather than having child issues flattened next to parent. It's kind of hard for us to organize work when having a lot of issues with parent-child relationships. |

I was unsure what this button did before I came to this issue. It would be great if there was an informative or something else that described what the switch does. I don't have subissues so all it does is add more whitespace. |

The update after clicking on an issue, then creating a list of sub-issues then closing the modal (to go back to the hierarchical view) seems somewhat long. I haven't timed it, but trying to drive issue creation from this screen (i.e. creating a large batch of hierarchical issues in one sitting) gets a bit annoying. Nevertheless, this is a great feature to keep improving! |

Another thing that would be super useful: The ability to export (either an image or PDF) of the entire table view, not just the viewport. And I don't mean a CSV, but the actual graphical view, as is. This hierarchical view is very useful for discussing and planning work order (irrespective of time), so it would be useful to be able to show it to other ppl without having to resort to screenshots. |

Great to see this feature. Biggest missing functionality for me is the ability to expand all (or a selected subset of) nested relationships in one shot (and ideally to have that expanded view persist as the default or at least be remembered for my user / browser). Second biggest thing is that it is not possible to search / find an item nested within a collapsed relationship. The browser's native cmd/ctrl-F doesn't work in this case, and the GH Table View's UI doesn't present this kind of a 'Find' control / input field. |
