Reordering tasks when sorting for "due date" #373

Closed TheStealthReporter closed 1 year ago

TheStealthReporter commented 7 years ago

Sometimes one task builds on another: for example "shopping (including ingredients)" should be done before "baking cake". Also I let the app order the tasks by their due dates to see what has to be done today or tomorrow separately. It would be highly convenient to move tasks around in-one-day like one can with "manual sorting" so after rescheduling entries they can be handled from top to bottom.

It seems to work when switching from "sorting manually" to "sort by due date" (is that a bug?) but by restarting the app this feature is lost (is that a bug?).

It is either due date, or manual sorting. I recommend you create new lists instead, for instance a list specific for all shopping tasks on a particular day, and use manual sorting from there.

Not bugs, just undefined behavior. Tasks have no guarantees on the ordering of tasks due on the same day.

With "working" I mean you can move tasks around while you're in "due date"-sorting if you switched from "sorting manually".

Ah, that's definitely a bug. But it's not present on latest beta version, so already fixed in that regard.
