Allow custom sorting for list view in filters

Currently, list view in filters doesn’t allow to reorder items and it is ok. But internally they still uses sorting by position.

I would like to have custom sorting according priority and due date, and i even can specify it via API, but harcoded sort options for list view is spoiling everything.

May be you can remove such hardcoded sorting for filter (projectID < -1):

github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja

frontend/src/components/project/views/ProjectList.vue

main


      
          	tasks: allTasks,
          	loading,
          	totalPages,
          	currentPage,
          	loadTasks,
          	params,
          	sortByParam,
          } = useTaskList(
          	() => props.projectId,
          	() => props.viewId,
          	{position: 'asc'},
          	() => props.projectId === -1
          		? null
          		: 'subtasks',
          )
          
          const taskPositionService = ref(new TaskPositionService())
          
          const tasks = ref<ITask[]>([])
          watch(
          	allTasks,

As i can understand from vikunja/pkg/models/task_collection.go at main · go-vikunja/vikunja · GitHub - removing sorting from request will lead to using sorting, stored at a filter.

Best option will be ability to specify sorting through view settings, but for begging, it will be great just to remove such hardcode

Welcome

Currently, you can sort manually only in the UI. I’d be open for a PR to make this configurable, but that should work for projects (not only filters) as well.
