Thanks Robert for the answer So, unfortunately i'm not alone.... It's a pity because WLO seems really a good task manager very complex and with a lot of features but to complete my plan i need to arrange sorted tasks in a 5 days time chart to be published for sharing purpose We can't be alone in that way and i have not found a softawre able to do that in the right way.
