Christoph, Dwight, Thanks for your thoughts.
Today, if I see the items that where at the bottom yesterday - the ones that started yesterday and have a due date this Friday, are now at the top! It looks like a past Start Date greatly increased the prioritization (but does do so on the actual start date). So I tried adding Time to the Start Date so its before I start work on the Start Date and 'suprise!' the task, with a Start Date of today, and Due Date of Friday is now at the top of the list! It does not really make sense that it works this way, but its a relatively easy way to work around what I think is a bug. We will see if the MLO team will reply, and offer an explaination/solution/bug fix (but often bugs are in the eye of the beholder... ;-) Cheers, On Wednesday, October 18, 2017 at 2:36:24 AM UTC+2, Dwight wrote: > > Hi, Grant.
