You can also use prefixes like a, b, c or 01, 02, 03 to force a sort order. Not as flexible as what you suggest, but available now while you wait for Bob to work through his long list.

That would help a lot. I have tasks that aren't higher priority, but they should be done when I get a chance and other blah blah. This would be great!

I would love this option, too. I have lists that contain order-dependent items and putting prefixes or fake due dates is a kludge at best.

Looks like this request has been out there for a while, but thought I would bump this thread... as it's something that I would love too. It's actually the only reason I continue to use Tada List vs. RTM. RTM has so many other features that make it more robust... but, for me, it's essential to be able to re-order the list randomly based on where I want things to be.

I just moved from Google Tasks to RTM and the only show stopper so far has been that I'm not able to order the tasks in a list...

please!

Definitely want this feature!

unbelievable that so basic a feature isn't on RTM.

Posted 2 years ago

Agreed. This is a showstopper. I know the list of things for RTM to work on is long (but my wants and needs are more important--kidding!) but this is keeping me from committing to RTM.

Would love to see this feature as well. From a project standpoint I have tasks that must be complete before I start another, being able to move them into a logical order and hit them top to bottom one at a time is essential

I would love to see this as well. Unfortunately because of the lack of this I'm always on the lookout for a better task manager.

It sure would be nice to have as a feature.

I've got a million tasks, there's not enough priorities to keep them ordered, and manually ordering them with number / letter prefixes is bogus when you get to have too many tasks, updating them is so much trouble when you need to move them around too.

This is the one feature that still keeps me from using remember the milk. I wish I hadn't signed up for the android app before I knew that tasks were sorted alphabetically. I can't stand alphabetical ordering.

Keeping this post fresh...

Even Google Tasks (which is very limited) has drag and drop task sorting.

Also if you use a system like Getting Things Done (GTD) or First Things First (FTF) / Franklin Covey , they allow more than 3 priorities: GTD has 0-99 weighting, FTF has a A, B, C, plus a number: A1, A2, B1, C1.

I'd easily pay double for the Pro subscription for custom ordered tasks.

Speaking to GTD:
Order is essential for projects.
SmartOrdering would be a godsend, where tasks renumber as some are completed!
Thanks!

Lack of ordered tasks is a show stopper for me too. Lists are already a work-around for the lack of subtasks. If I can't order things in lists either, well, I just don't know if I can use this service. Ditto on the willingness to pay double pro subscription just for this feature.

+1! This would be a big help.

Would like to be able to order todays tasks so that I work on them one after another.

Posted 1 year ago

Ditto, ditto and ditto again. This seems so basic? I would love to sort my task in "My Order". It feels like it would fit perfectly under the "Sort by" drop down. Are there any updates or plans to make this happen any time soon?

Bob, how many bananas does it take to move this up the list?

RTM is nice in some ways but no task ordering means no projects and no real organisation. Without that, I can't use it.

Likewise, please add this feature. I just searched "ordering tasks remmeber the milk" and came across tihs thread. Even a simple project like moving apartment is difficult to do as certain tasks come in an order.

This, like sub lists, is absolutely necessary. Please include this soon.

I agree, love the RTM service for all it's integrations but simply can't use it for projects until custom ordering is included. Sub-tasks would also be nice but I'd renew my Pro membership in an instant if we could simply order tasks in a logical manner.

+1 really important feature for me as well.
