Hi, John. I'm not sure that I actually see your problem. Contexts are sorted in ascending alphabetical order based on the native collating sequence of the device you are using.

You can, however, modify the context names to controll how they sort. For example, suppose that your context names are 01-Errands, 02-Personal_Admin, 03-Low_Brain_Energy and so on. The tasks would sort into the order you seem to have in mind.You could then move errands to last position by renaming it 04-Errands. Here's another way to approach this issue. - Find the view named Active By Context and bring it up. - hit F6 to collapse every context - find the context you want to work on next and hit Ctrl-R to zoom in. - when you are done witgh this context hit ctrl-alt-R then f6. - look for your next context and repeat > > > Hello > > Is it possible to create a view whereby I drag & drop to change the sort > order of Contexts? > > Scenario: > e.g I want to do Errands, then some Personal_Admin, then some > Low_Brain_Energy to recharge my brain, then at least one oft the some stuff > I've been putting off (which I "Frog") then some sort of Down-time as a > reward...
