Action item — sort order

sort order (ActionItem.sortOrder) is a field stored on each action item record in Chalk, the higher-education academic operations platform for curriculum, assessment, faculty, scheduling, accreditation, and budget. It holds a Int value and is part of the action item record's data. The sortOrder field belongs to the action item it is recorded on, so faculty, staff, and automations read or set sortOrder while working with that ActionItem record. Because sortOrder is part of the ActionItem record, it stays consistent with the rest of that record's data and is scoped to the tenant that owns the action item.
