Tasks ordering in the list view

Hey,
I started to use vikunja and trying to understand how to order my tasks.
I have three “types” of tasks for each project.

  1. Task that must finish until some date. This is the easiest one as I add a due date and those tasks moving to the top of the list order by the due date.
  2. Regular tasks - tasks that need to finish but has no specific time. I saw that setting priority does not affect the order of the tasks.
  3. Task that can be started at specific date, and can’t start earlier. For this I am using start date, but it has no effect on the order and I can’t see it in the tasks list(only on the gantt view).

Is there any way to ordering the tasks? Ideally I want the order to be as the types of the tasks (first due tasks, then regular tasks and in the end tasks with start date)

Welcome! :wave:

Currently, it’s not possible to change the sort order. You can sort them manually though, using dragging and dropping in the list view.

Another option would be to create a kanban view where the buckets are filtered, then create a bucket for each kind of tasks you outlined above.

Thank you, I think I will do the kanban option.
Any timeframe for implementation sorting?

We don’t really have estimates for features, it’s done when it’s done.

If you want to make this happen faster, you could add a feature request or sponsor this.
