I must admit that I had never noticed this before you asked the question, so I must consider it, shall we say, an unobtrusive feature. Clicking at the top of that column will sort the scheduled from unscheduled notes. <<<
Erm, no it doesn't. Or at least not in any useful or intuitive way. I had seen that column when I was experimenting, and dismissed it after trying to work out what it was for. I just went back and experimented with it again. I clicked on Dashboard and then on Starred, and got a list of my tasks. All of them displayed dates in the Date column, as I noted previously. Clicking on the triage column header sorts them into Now-Later-Done. Clicking on the Date column and the column you are describing does exactly the same thing. Both columns sort the entries by date and, in both cases, where a date contains items with alarms and items without alarms, the items with alarms appear first. So, in a strictly legalistic sense, the scheduled and unscheduled items are separated, but not in any fashion I can imagine anyone finding useful :) What's more the Date column contains two logically different kinds of entries (the date an unscheduled item was created and the date a scheduled item's alarm is due to go off), and the sort mechanism treats them both as equivalent. Sorting by either column produces a result that treats an unscheduled item created on May 4 as coming after items scheduled to have their alarms triggered on May 4 and before the items scheduled to have their alarms triggered on May 5. IMHO this is illogical and confusing, and not a way of separating the two in any useful way. Or am I missing a vital trick or two here? Owen -- www.owenkelly.net www.marinetta.org.
