Hi,
Thank you for your feedback!
The "Group by" will be improved in the next version.
For Alternative 3: Now Doit.im will remember the "Group by" information. When you select "Context" in Today,next time you visit the Today list it will be grouped by context. For example:
Now you are in Today and select "Context" in the "Group by" selector. Then you go to Next. When you go back to Today,it will still group by context.
Shall you need any help or have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me back.
Thank you for your support!
Best regards,
Doit.im Team
Temporary regrouping by context (or filtering by context)
(This is a small thing, just a matter of saving a couple of clicks :-)
I usually keep my Next list sorted by Priority (or by Deadline, which is also really by Priority except for the rare few tasks with true hard deadlines at the very top.) This is the order I prefer most often.
Very often, though, I want to select tasks to do based on Context, for example find additional errands (which I have defined as a Context, not as a Tag).
Then, what I need to do today is click the "Group by" selector, then click Context, then select my tasks, then (sooner or later) click the "Group by" selector again and then click Deadline (or Priority). This could all be a little bit smoother (at least on the desktop and web versions), for example:
Alternative 1) Keep all the Contexts available also as "filtering Tags" at the top filter bar. (This would work in mobile versions, too).
Alternative 2) Keep the grouping options always visible as individual buttons instead of in a "Group by" menu. (There is plenty of space on that line.)
Alternative 3) Like 2 above, but keep the "Group by" selector as a default grouping - next time you visit the list it will be grouped in this default order, and the direct buttons are just for temporary regrouping. (Or the default grouping for each list could be hidden in preferences.)
Alternative 4) Like both 3 and 1 above - allow all of these.
Just some thoughts - no big deal :-)

Yes, I know that Doit remembers the "Group by" setting.
What did you think of, in addition, having some quicker way of temporarily regrouping the lists (Alt. 2-3) or filtering by context (alt 1)? -

Hi,
It will be convenient to some people. We will do a research on this issue. Maybe we need to improve the design for Group by selector. Thank you for your suggestion.
