Hello Jon,
If you're a user of the classic "GTD" method, then you should avoid setting
any dates other than hard deadline dates (the ones where "after this date,
the task is invalid because it's too late"). Treating due dates as absolute
means that they should always be set ahead of undated
I am a new user but see there is an option to sort a branch under the
context menu 'advanced - sort subtasks'. I guess this was implemented since
OP's ancient question!
I confess that MLO is very powerful/configurable, and hence complex - I am
still learning! So all I can report is my method:
I'm not sure I fully agree with you. I think sorting should be as you
describe if you are viewing tasks in a flat list. However, if you're
looking at tasks within their hierarchy, then I don't think the sorting
should change the outline hierarchy, duplicating branches and tasks. If
you're
Hi, have we made any progress since 2013 regarding this enhancement?
Hierarchy should be used simply to put tasks in context, not to get in the
way of sorting. Sorting should consistently be applied to main filters
matches only, even if that means seeing the same hierarchy multiple times
in
Alright, thank you! Dwight

Thank you very much Dwight, your reply is very helpful. I have got all
tasks ranked by due date under you instructions. This is great!
But this is on the condition without Hierarchy. With Hierarchy Filter is
switched on, i.e. with parent and children tasks, children tasks are not
sorted out.
Hi, 元亨大吉
I think that you are asking how to take a view which already includes all
the tasks you want to see, and sort this view by due date.
Try this
1. Bring up the view and ensure that all required tasks are being displayed
2. Bring up the view definition pane
a. is the pane at the left
