Next list sorting

Hi, the Next list on PRO used to sort all items in priority order (I group by Project) but now all items are mixed up, which makes it very difficult if you have lots of items per Project.

All other lists working fine and remain in priority order. The problem only seems to be with the Next list.

Thanks,
Robert

I agree. The old way was better than the new way, but I think there is a way of combining the two into something even stronger: http://help.doit.im/topics/2600

In essence, tasks could be placed by priority but the user could still choose to move them by drag-and-drop. The simple basic principle for this to work would be that new tasks are placed immediately before the highest existing task of the same priority color. For everyone who was happy with pure automatic sorting as before, this would provide exactly that. No need to drag things around at all.

And for those who want to manually adjust (or manually reorganize the list completely) it would be a simple drag-and-drop, and at least they would have their new tasks landing in a well-defined place - not in "random" places like it is now.
