Sequential tasks
terrylynncole says:
Use a tag called wait, which keeps things out of my current task list.
I woud like to able to quickly describe a sequential list and they won't be on my current list until the item before it is done. This is a simplified dependency type. I don't want to turn this into Project!
One idea would be Due (time) after xxx. Of course, that woudl require referencing unique tasks. That might kill the simplicy of the UI.
Another idea might be a special screen to enter and edit serial tasks. You enter it by first selecting a member tasks and then edit sequence. You could delete, remove, add, insert and make use of task sequence numbers that are temproary and linear.

Use tags to create the project then start each task with a sequential number.

I second a way to order tasks sequentially. The starting each task with a number is a good idea. However, inserting a task in the middle of a list is not easy.

Actually, I guess a work around would be to do 1.x, or 2.x, but it still isn't very clean.

Yes I woulld like this ability too. It would be useful to do this on the fly and well as plan it in advanced.

Good idea.

I would either like this, or the ability to customize the order of the tasks in a list. Most tools allow dragging/dropping tasks.

I fully second dependencies, although it is an old request. Maybe it will be implemented in the future.
