Hello, Lisa!
Do you mean that MLO can sort OUTLINE view tasks in their folder only when
a user right-clicks on folder/Advanced/Sort_subtasks ?
So if we add a new task to this folder (or to any other folder), the new
task will NOT be sorted by MLO automatically. (MLO can add a new task only
to the top or bottom position in any folder. Other options are not valid
for outline view).
Moreover, when we click focus on any folder, then define a filter and add
the task, this task usually will be in the middle of the task list. But
after that when we go back to the outline view, this task always appears on
the top or bottom position of our folder, not in the middle!
Please, correct me if I'm wrong!
