Setting for ordering recurring tasks #3328

Open rzelnik opened 1 month ago

rzelnik commented 1 month ago

Problem Statement

Currently all recurring tasks are added to the top of the "Today" and "Timeline" task lists. It causes that unfinished tasks from the previous day have lower priority than today's recurring tasks and will be processed later. That's not always the expected behaviour. In some cases user wants to finish the older tasks first.

:grey_question: Possible Solution

It would be good to have a switch in settings for adding recurring tasks to the top or to the bottom of the task lists.

:arrow_heading_up: Describe alternatives you've considered

In a "Add new Task" input form there is a switch for adding a task to the top or to the bottom of the list. We can replicate the same principle in the context of recurring tasks.

Thank you very much for opening up this issue! I am currently a bit overwhelmed by the many requests that arrive each week, so please forgive me, if I fail to respond personally. I am still very likely to at least skim read your request and I'll probably try to fix all (real) bugs if possible and I will likely review every single PR being made (please, give me a heads up if you intent to do so) and I will try to work on popular requests (please upvote via thumbs up on the original issue) whenever possible, but trying to respond to every single issue over the last years has been kind of draining and I need to adjust my approach for this project to remain fun for me and to make any progress with actually coding new stuff. Thanks for your understanding!
