I wanted to sort the sub-tasks of a folder into alphabetical order in a
hierarchical view. Unfortunately, the option on the Tasks Right Click
Menu, Advanced Options was greyed out. I have encountered this problem
before.
Anyway, had a brain wave - the view had a filter Show Completed > Recent.
I changed to a saved view which shows all the tasks (with no filter)
and the Sort option ungreyed and managed to sort my sub-tasks.
So I thought it must be something to do with the fact that the view was
filtered but when I changed the Show All Tasks view to filter in the same
way (ie Show Completed > Recent) the Sort option remained available.
So I am now really puzzled as to why the Sort Sub-Tasks is greyed out in my
original view - as far as I can see the only filter I am applying is the
Show Completed > Recent.
Does anybody know or have any suggestions as to why the Sort Sub-Tasks
should be greyed out in this way?
Aside: this is the big disadvantage of greying things out - one never
knows why they are greyed out. You either want a hover tip to explain
why or something in the Help or to change the behaviour so that you get a
an error message when you select it that tells you why.
