What were you doing when the application crashed?
Can't sort list of task lists.

There is no mechanism for ordering them - they have to be created in the order you want them.

Not a crasher or data-loss bug, so downgrading.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2007-06-05 02:38:34 UTC 
you can always sort them e.g. by priority or several other issues, so i don't understand the bug here?

I want to arrange the list of task lists into a particular order and then take advantage of the tendency of tasks to (initially) be grouped according to the list they belong to.

In fact if I could force the tasks to always group according to the task list they belong to I would do that as well, but haven't worked it out. There is a button that looks like a notepad, which affects the ordering possibly by doing just this, but there are no tooltips in the task list sorting buttons so I don't know what it should do.

Once I start adding tasks or moving them between lists, they aren't shown in the original grouping. But hiding all the task lists and then unhiding them results in them being displayed in order of which list they are in. This behaviour I consider to be incorrect, as the ordering is essentially random, based on the order in which you do things. Even when not deliberately sorting the tasks it should be deterministic, so hiding and unhiding wouldn't make any difference to the ordering.

I see multiple things discussed here. Namely bug #272854, bug #257154, bug #209678 and also bug #442398. The last is the closest for the summary, thus I mark this as a duplicate of it.
