I have multiple folders with tasks, subtasks, etc. I would like to view all my tasks in hierarchal format and be able to add tasks and subtasks under the various folders and have them automatically sort by due date when I add them. From what I can tell based on other conversations here, it appears this is not possible? I'm aware of the group and sort options as well under the view filter, but I guess that only works for tasks below the parent folder. So the only way to do it as I understand is to select the folders and go to advanced/sort subtasks and sort by date there. However, this would have to manually be done each time tasks are added. I have read the reasoning as to why MLO does this, but what if I am not using any other importance/urgency fields, dependencies, etc. and I simply want my tasks automatically sorted by date while viewing them in their appropriate folders? Isn't there any way to view this or create a view for this? I can't seem to find a way to do it, and intuitively it would seem that this is a very basic feature that every task manager should possess.
MLO seems flexible and powerful, but I've found that accomplishing simple basics seems overly complex and non-intuitive. For instance, it took me forever to figure out why tasks that were scheduled later the same day or on a recurrence would not show up as active tasks. I like to see everything that is coming up, so I don't really use any of the "active" views since that doesn't seem to show half the items on the task list because they are considered inactive. Why would a recurring task that is coming up later in the day be considered inactive until it's ready to start as compared to a non-recurring task? Anyways, a little frustrated with the app and feel like it's missing a lot of useful basic features that I see in other task management apps so not sure if it's for me but giving it a shot for now...
