#2257: Quire Feedback
Status: Completed

Hi,

I think it would be good to have an option to sort by multiple criteria.

Let's say , first sort by date, and then by priority or name.

Actually, my problem is this: I like to sort by due date. But then I am unable to rearrange the tasks by drag&drop in the order I want to do them, unfortunately their position is fixed within that date... If you could enable rearranging within a day, that'd be super awesome.

Hi Ivan, within the same group, the tasks will be ordered from the most recent to the least recent. If the tasks all have the same due date, they will be ordered in the same order when there’s no filter applied.

I will pass your feedback to the team. 😍

What about sorting the tasks' order first (when there's no filter applied)? Move the higher priority tasks to the top and vice versa. Then sort them by date, so within the same group, you will know the tasks at the top are more important. This is probably the closest workaround that I could think of right now, it might help.

Hi Ivan, we only allow sorting by one criterion. When sort by date, you are still able to drag and drop tasks to different groups, but won’t be able to reorder them, because they are ordered chronologically.

Aha, OK, I see your comment now. When you say "ordered chronologically", do you mean items within the same date are ordered by their time of creation?

If that's the case, I don't know why it's the default choice. I'd be willing to bet that 90%+ of users would prefer that items within the same date use priority as secondary sorting criteria :-) I hope I'm not being annoying, I'm just making sure my point gets across! <3
