I use cards to organize my projects’ production process and I keep duplicate cards to link to those on the process board. I am wanting to alphabetize my cards by the first line. Is it possible to do so automatically once I drop them in a box?

Hi Les,

 

Thank you for your questions! 

 

Unfortunately, there’s no innate way in the Miro UI to align cards or sort them alphabetically - the only way to currently align onbjects on a board or a frame is positioning them in a specific structure, where the nearest cards would take the newly appointed positions.

 

You could use API to get all cards from a frame, list them alphabetically on your side and then reposition them one by one based on their alphabetic positions by changing their coordinates - however, implementing this might be a challenge if you haven’t had previous API-related experience.

 

For more details, you can check this request for getting all widgets from a frame - https://developers.miro.com/reference/get-items-within-frame

 

And this request for updating card widgets in terms of their positions on the board - https://developers.miro.com/reference/update-card-item

 

Hope that helps - please let me know if you have any further questions to share!
