It took me a long time and a lot of work to get to the point where this was working for me. In my experience, there are two kinds of problems.
One involves whether the display accurately reflects the computed score. If you check computed score for several tasks (in the task statistics tab) and the listing is showing them out of order, you have this problem. If you are looking at a to-do (not outline) view and if to-do ordering is set to computed score as just suggested by Lisa, then imho you have a bug and should report it as such. The other class of problem is where the computedscore does not make sense - the unimportant "someday" task that's sitting high in the list with a high computed score that will not go down no matter what you do, or the urgent, gotta-do-it-today task that's languishing way down under doing something about my junkmail. There are some common problems that can help, like checking if the task's parents have an unreasonable priority, or checking if something has been set too high in the tree and is distorting results when it's applied recursively at every level of the tree. But sometimes you just cannot figure it out. If that's where you are, I would humbly request that you go to the MLO forum on UserVoice and vote for my proposal to add an explanation of a task's computer score. http://mlo.uservoice.com/forums/9235-general/suggestions/1357757-explain-why -this-task-sorts-way-up-down-here- -Dwight From: mylifeorganized@googlegroups.com [mailto:mylifeorganized@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Lisa Stroyan Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2011 2:21 AM To: mylifeorganized@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [MLO] Problems with computed score Only have a minute and haven't read everything thoroughly (on vacation) but those of you having issues have you checked that Tools-->Options-->Todo Ordering is not set to "Hierarchical"?
