Understand Planner Limitations and Submit Feedback
Currently, Microsoft Planner for Teams does not support manual reordering of pinned plans. You can submit feedback to Microsoft to formally request this feature.
Microsoft Planner currently lists pinned plans based on default system sorting, without a native drag-and-drop or manual reordering feature.
Since many users have encountered this limitation and there is no built-in control button to fix it, the recommended course of action is to request the feature through Microsoft's official feedback channels.
Launch your Microsoft Teams application and navigate to the Help icon located at the bottom left corner of the interface.
Click on 'Give Feedback' or 'Suggest a feature' to open the Microsoft feedback portal.
Explain that you need the ability to manually sort or reorder pinned plans in the Planner app, and submit your suggestion so the development team can review it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I drag and drop pinned plans in Microsoft Teams?
Microsoft Teams currently does not support a manual drag-and-drop sorting feature for pinned plans in the Planner integration. The interface simply lacks the controls to customize this list order at this time.
Will unpinning and repinning plans change their order?
Yes, as a temporary workaround, unpinning all your plans and then pinning them back one by one in the order you wish them to appear can sometimes reorganize the list, as the system typically places newly pinned items at the bottom.
Where else can I organize my Microsoft Planner tasks?
You can access Microsoft Planner directly through your web browser via the Microsoft 365 portal. While the reordering limitation might still apply to the pinned sidebar, the web interface offers different viewing options like the Planner Hub to view all your recent and favorite plans.
