manual sort of column can't be undone by task filters #224

Closed jrgreensboro closed 3 years ago

jrgreensboro commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug a filter that has sort views can't be reinvoked if a column is sorted manually from main screen and there is not an obvious way to revert to filter sort

To reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. create a filter named something like test filter
  2. in filter create a sort order like priority descending, start date descending
  3. save and choose filter -- view is sorted as expected
  4. click on the top of a column such as due date to sort by that column -- view is now sorted by due date
  5. now invoke original filter or any other filter -- sort is still due date and there doesn't seem to be a way to invoke the filter sort options even after restart

Expected behavior a manual sort is fine, but when then choosing a new filter with a custom sort view -- would expect the filter sort view to be invoked

Version & system information 1.2.2

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

When you click on a column header, there are three states: ordered ascending, ordered descending, unordered. If you want to use the "default filter" order, then you have to make sure the column is unordered. You should see a small arrow when ordered and nothing when unordered.

Thanks, that's a good workaround, if a bit kludgy. I can see the reasoning, but saving sort along with filters is such a powerful tool that no one else does (including toodledo) that i would think the saved filter would take precedence.

thanks for the response Ben.
