In case no-one has mentioned it, I believe the "Alternative Complete"
was added to support moving a task to the bottom of a manually sorted
list for this method. (I don't use it and haven't read all the
discussion but wanted to make sure you knew about it).

Can someone advise on the best way to achieve using Mark Forster's
methods in MLO? This usually involves moving a task to the bottom of a
list. To achieve this I am using the Active Starred view. This is
because manual orders in other views generally do not sync in the new
Android version. (Are there plans to change this?)
I am operating more flexibly than Mark Forster described, creating
Active Actions lists only of areas relevant at a particular time; the
other areas get hidden. Generally I am seeing tasks from 2, 3 or 4
visible sub-branches. At root level I have a "Hidden" branch where I
put the irrelevant sub-branches (e.g. "Home" while I am at work), and
an "In Progress" visible branch where I have relevant and priority
sub-branches. I move the main sub-branches back and forth between these
primary ones during the day to generate relevant active task lists.
While my approach technically works, there are overheads. Because only
the Active Starred view syncs active actions with a manual order, I
have to ensure every active action is starred, which means I can no
longer use the star for the purpose intended. In the FVP system (Final
Version Perfected) a chain of tasks is established. Without access to
the stars, I tried showing the tasks in bold face (Ctrl-B) but that
works only in Windows and does not transfer to the Android. The best I
have found so far is to identify the chain of tasks visually by setting
them to be projects (they then show in blue on the desktop, and are
underlined in blue on the phone). But this is another overhead in terms
of keystrokes, and undermines the use of projects as projects. A
similar way it make the tasks overdue, but that has similar issues.
Is there some way I should be using flags and contexts to achieve my
approach with lower or no overhead? Is there some clever technique with
views I should know (bearing in mind they need to have manual sort to
that tasks can be moved to the bottom)? Should I consider abandoning
the Windows version for serious work and instead treat it as a resource
for occasional manipulation of tasks in bulk (with the multiple
selection facility)?
Thanks for reading to the end!
