After many years of using MLO and GTD--and many different approaches-- I've come to rely heavily on manual sorting of tasks.
Even though the MLO sync is great in most ways, I haven't been able to use it as I move between my desktop and laptop ebcause i doesn;t preserve sort order in active tasks. As a result, when I'm away from my desk, I tend to just add new tasks to my inbox, and treat the rest of my list as read-only. Far from ideal. But it occurred to me this morning that I might be able to get the kind of sync I want just by keeping my data file in Dropbox. I searched this group and found some messages about it, all from a few years ago. The bottom line seems to be that there's no problem doing it that way as long as you close out MLO on each PC before you start using it on the other one. I've experiementd wiith it for a while now, and that seems to be true. Problem solved, apparently, for me. I figured I'd post this just for the few people who are in the same boat as I've been: daunted by the lack of synchronized manual sort. Anybody know anything different, or have anything to add?
