I am trying to figure out how to sort orders buy a due date we have lots of orders for weeks or months out and I am looking to switch from square and clickup to shopify to clear up confusion but this look like a square plus more than the machine they claim to be. I could just be to new to understand shopify but its frustrating that i cant put a date in and see the orders listed in the order they are due instead of placed. The day the order is placed is no good if its not due for months

Without getting too technical with a custom search query in something like Flow, or an outside app, one very simple band-aid is to create a tag in the order with the due-date month. Sort by tag, all orders due this month, or week 14, or whatever. Again, probably not the ultimate answer, but at least you’d know right away. Later you can check out some more advanced stuff. There’s a thread in the dev forum How to find the order with the nearest due date in Shopify Admin API? - #2 by Donal-Shopify - GraphQL Admin API Troubleshooting - Shopify Developer Community Forums

The native order listing page is an INTRODUCTORY level feature.
It’s a default built for the lowest common denominator of ~5+ MILLION merchants.
Once you get to specific workflows you should either be looking for order processing apps, or building that for yourself in ways that are not locked to one company.

Bare minimum use flow to send all orders to a google-sheet and that is YOUR dashboard.
There’s also lowcode service like retool, or just making a custom app.

If you need any of this built to improve your opportunity costs then just reach out to me or other devs.

It could be worth sending your order data to Google Sheets or, depending on your scale BigQuery. You can create reports exactly how you like them.

Hi there; we’ve literally just launched an app in the app store to do this - DateView

Our app collects the customer’s preferred date in the cart (and validates it in checkout) and then gives you a view of all orders grouped by future date and all products you need to prepare for those dates.
