When sorting by date, there is a bug where if you change the priority of the task that is due today, the task will jump to the bottom of the "Today" section. If you reload the page, the task will be back to where it was originally.
In general, it would be great to manually rearrange items with identical due dates. I don't know what the secondary sort it when you use the sort function, but as is I have no control over how tasks are secondarily sorted within the due date sections.
When looking at my tasks due today, I naturally want to be able to prioritize those tasks within the due date. I have 10 things I need to get done today, but which one do I get to first? I don't want to have to set due times for each task just to visually rearrange my today tasks.
I would ask for the ability to manually drag to rearrange tasks within each due date section AND be able to drag tasks to a new section to change the due date.
Thanks, Peggy, that's very helpful. When you sort by date, what is the secondary sort? In other words, how are tasks automatically sorted within each date section?

Hi Asharff, The tasks will follow the order of your default task view. Meaning, it will look like what your task view looks like in “Active Tasks” (don’t have any filter or sorting). Hope it makes sense. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks. 😃

Hi Asharff, Thank you for noticing this issue. Our tech team is looking into it and it will be fixed soon. For the ability to manually drag to rearrange tasks within each due date section, we made it undoable, because our tasks list is a tree-like design, the tree structure will also occur when you sort it by date. Meaning, if you have multiple layers of subtasks in default list view, when you sort it by date, you will still be able to see the multiple layers, so if can drag manually and reorder, the whole list will be ruined when back to unsorted. Hope this makes sense.
For the ability to drag tasks to a new section to change the due date, actually you are able to do this now, but only in cases when you have other tasks that are already in upcoming due dates. To be more clear, if you have set some tasks for ‘Tomorrow’, when sort by date, you can drag the ones in 'Today' to the Tomorrow area. This also works for Upcoming/ Later due dates. Hope this helps!
