Hey there!
My partner and I have been using Vikunja, and we absolutely love it. We had to take a little break because we were moving around quite a bit over the past few months, and I couldn’t run my servers.
Now that we’ve finally settled into a nice, permanent place, we’re excited to get back to our routine!
My partner really enjoyed using features like “show done tasks” and “alphabetical sorting,” but she noticed that these options seem to be missing now. While I think I can use filter queries for that, it looks like “done = true” isn’t working for us, and I’m struggling to find a way to sort alphabetically.
The old ticking boxes were super convenient for her, especially since she’s not particularly techy, so it felt really intuitive.
I’d love to know if there’s an easy, intuitive, and efficient way for us to access those features again.
Thanks a bunch for your help!
Hey! 
This is similar to another thread: Query language for saved filters
As stated there, there will be an option in the next major release to get the old filter options back. Until then, you’ll need to use the new query language.
The done filter probably overlaps with the done filter set in the View (other users have reported something similar)
Thanks a lot for your answer.
We have listed all our numbered moving boxes in Vikunja. Being able to sort them in numerical order would be a great help.
So I hate asking this question, but any ETA on this future release by any chance ?
It’s a bit cumbersome, but as a workaround you could sort the tasks manually using drag and drop.
I’m off on vacation until the 23th August, might start working on it after that. I would say this might land in unstable in September.
Hello,
I hope you had a wonderful summer.
I wanted to follow up to see if you have a more precise estimated time of arrival for this feature.
Regards,
Stéphane
It really was great, thank you.
The issue with the duplicate filter is now solved, but not yet released as stable, only in unstable.

Great to here, I can’t wait 
Hello. I hope you’re doing great.
I had to ask, but is there any ETA on the release of this feature as stable?
Depends on how fast all the other bugs are fixed Maybe Q1.

Hi @kolaente,
I hope you’re doing well, it’s been a while 
So, I’ve been following and participating to the topic closely since 2021 (yeah already 
).
Back then, @stefantigro kindly helped to implement the alphabetical sorting feature, which worked well for a while, until it was later removed or became unavailable in the stable branch, even though the logic still seems to exist in the code.
I’ve been an active user and tester throughout these iterations, and I’d love to see this functionality find its way back into regular use. Both the show done tasks toggle and alphabetical sorting were particularly appreciated by non-technical users around me and proved very practical for everyday or inventory-related lists.
Could we have an update on whether these features are planned to return to the stable version? I don’t have coding skills, so being an active user and tester is the best way I can contribute. I’d be glad to keep testing or providing feedback if it helps move things forward.
Thanks for your time and for your work.
Best,
Stéphane
Hey 
There is an issue which tracks the progress: Add sorting to lists view · Issue #1729 · go-vikunja/vikunja · GitHub - currently there are two WIP PRs which implement parts of it.
Thanks for your answer.
I honestly can’t wait
