Hi,
With the new web version, when I update a task, it doesn't go to the bottom (last update order) like it used to before. This was very practicle because you always had older tasks at the top of the list (both in boxes and project view).
Is there a possibility to recover this feature?
Many thanks.
Personally I prefer latest on top, but essentially I agree 100% that there must be a consistent default placement of tasks. It is no good that tasks are placed "randomly".
Also, many users miss the previous automatic secondary sorting by priority, and I think the default placement of new tasks should be such that you get automatic priority sorting if you never reorder the tasks manually. The simple principle could be that new tasks are always automatically placed immediately before the first existing task of the same priority (or after the last task of the same priority). From there on the user can drag them manually if he wants to, even out of priority order, but if he does not, then the list will in fact be sorted by priority just like most people want.
I am happy as long as it is consistent, and as long as I have priority subsorting working automatically in most lists. Manual readjustment capability is an extra bonus, which cannot be allowed to destroy the fundamental simplicity.
The reason why I prefer latest on top (rather than latest at the bottom) is that:
- easier/quicker to see the new tasks (no need to scroll so far)
- the new ones are usually more important (the old ones are old for a good reason)
