If you want to go back to your automatic sorting, just go back
to your original Will-Do view. I think the functionality for what you
want to do is already built in.
It's not just about whether we are able to get it to do what we want
if we work at it, but more that we want to help Andrey find the most
intuitive and user-friendly way to present the new feature. One of
my favorite things about MLO is the combination of power and
intuitiveness - a rare combination. I don't find the manual sort
very intuitive in the way it is presented right now, especially
because it's unclear when it will get rid of the sort order.
There is also nothing in your workaround that addresses one of the
biggest issues I see: I would like tasks that get added to a view to
be added in the sort order that would be used if they weren't
manually sorted, not at the end. I would see this as a huge
issue. Suppose I have a view that is sorted by due date that I work
out of all the time. I move something up in the list because
although the due date hasn't changed, I want it at the front of my
attention. Now, I have a manually sorted view. Then I add tasks
that are due soon into the list. They current go to the bottom of
the list, and there is no obvious way to say, "reset everything to
automatic sorting". Also reordering my tasks in this view makes the
view pretty pointless, because new tasks are not sorted by date.
It's probably too hard of a change to fix this, though....which is
why I suggest changing the UI to make what it already does more intuitive.
I do find the feature very useful - I can just see that there are
going to be views in which it's not worth ever using manual sort
because then that sort would have to be maintained by hand for new tasks.
