As it is from System UI --> Related Lists. Can we sort it using any field?

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar / @Tanushree Maiti
I have created a user preference as below but still the tasks are populating the ascending order of field "Order" by default if any user opens.
Could you please let me know if I am missing anything.

Hi @maramnithin
Check this old article: Reference field autocomplete - sort the list in descending order
Hope there is no problem in asc order.
