Re: [MLO] feature request: sync manual sort of todo list

I use manual sorting almost almost exclusively in the Windows desktop version. I don't use the Android version - and this was one of the reasons that I decided not to go down that route when I last looked (a good while ago). I hadn't realised that this was still the case and so the

I haven't been following this discussion closely so I am not sure whether this answers your question, John but I am 99% certain that To Do views (ie those where the Show Hierarchy is set to No) each have their own manual sort order. ie if you manually change the sort order the tasks in one

Hi John All your tasks are stored in a file on your pc (let's call it the Database) To see the tasks from that file we have to ask MLO the following hey MLO, show me my tasks, in the order in which they are stored in the Database. We do not have to ask really, for this the developers of MLO

Hi Andrei B Yes, on the disk will be the order in which the tasks were entered. And there will be some type of sorting in effect a sorting layer applied to the data to given you the sort order for the All Tasks button output. And if you apply a context filter the sort order is not changed, yes?

The outline has a fixed order that can be used as a sort order. That transfers to Android. There is a separate concept called manual sort which is specific to each view allowing, for example, me to drag my morning tasks around without messing with the outline (fixed) order. On Dec 18, 2014 11:15

Oh dear. Well it's a start I suppose, but that means that you have to star something in order for any sort ordering to sync, yes? So did MLO actively decide to not sync the main sort order? If so I wonder why. For anyone using the main sort in any serious way the status quo is somewhat

Hi John Excuse me, maybe I don't understand you, but as to me, the sorting in MLO is something that works as expected. The custom views are QUERIES. If you change the sort order in a query, that won't change it in the OUTLINE. Instead if you create a view which will display the outline as is,
