This idea is distinct from DTC-I-691 (Configurable CSV export profiles). That idea covers column layout and payroll-platform-specific column mapping. This idea is only about row sort and grouping — how the rows are ordered within whichever columns you have. The two are complementary and additive, not competing. A customer can want sort/grouping without column-layout customization, and vice versa.
Add sort and grouping presets to the time entries CSV export — at minimum a "by resource" sort (group all of one person's hours together) and a "by project" sort (group all hours by project, then resource within project). User picks the preset from a dropdown before exporting.
Today's CSV export sorts by date only. Customers using the export for payroll review or client billing need rows grouped by person or by project to make the file usable. Today they re-sort manually in Excel or Google Sheets after every export — a recurring tax on every payroll cycle and every billing cycle.
You could implement either one without the other and customers would still get value.
