Anna, Thanks for contacting Appigo. We have had a couple questions about sorting behavior, so below is a short description of the behavior of how the manual sorting works and when it is enabled versus disabled.
If Todo's Settings > Sorting is set to "Due Date, Priority" or "Priority,Due Date", then this is the Todo behavior you will see: ========================================================================================= - When a task is manually moved above another task with a set priority, Due Date and / or Due Time, then the moved task's priority, Due Date and Due Time are changed to reflect the same values as the task directly below it. - When a task is moved down in the list, for example below a task with a set priority, Due Date and / or Due Time, then the moved task's priority, Due Date and Due Time are changed to reflect the same values as the task directly above it. - In the case where a task is moved down in the list, for example below a task that has no Due Date or Due Time set, then the moved task's Due Date and Due Time are set to none just like the task directly above it. If the Todo Settings > Sorting is set to "Alphabetical", then manual sorting is disabled for the traditional views. However, you will still be able to manually sort a checklist when sorting is set to "Alphabetical". We have discussed the possibility of making a Todo Settings > Sorting value of "Manual" where the user can just go crazy moving stuff around without the Due Date or Priority values changing for the moved tasks. While there are advantages to having this type of sorting option for some customers, one of the problems with this approach is when Todo is configured with a back end and trying to keep the task views meaningful when viewed in Todo and in the back ends UI. We hope this answers your question. If not, feel free to contact us and we will be happy to assist you further.
