   • Manager
   • Start
   • Finish
3. Set the sorting to ascending based on "Project Name"
4. Navigate to Home -> General. Personalize the "Overview: General" tab -> Display the portlet created in step 1. Save and Return
5. Configure the portlet (From the Home side). Change the sort column to "Manager". Save and Return
