Next actions, visibility for one task at time ordered by highest to low priority

Hi.

I dont know this is a Bug or something that wasn't even considered.

In Next actions, we have the chance to focus and see only one (or all) task per context.

This is a great feature but when using view by Context, it turns out that the highest priority are not selected to the ones to be shown and actioned in first place. Is this the right approach?

Kind regards

Hi,

Now you can manual sort in Next. You can manual sort the task which you want it to be showed in first place. Do you mean that you want the highest priority task to be showed in first place automatically?

Shall you need any help or have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me back.

Thank you for your support!

Best regards,

I disagree with all of this.

First, I think @fabiopsousa is missing the point that this new feature always shows the first task in the manual sorting order that applies (within the box or context or whatever). This manual sorting order is in itself a big problem that has been discussed extensively in dozens of other threads. Once solved, it will solve this particular problem, too. http://help.doit.im/topics/2770

Second, I think this whole new feature (see one / see all) is utterly ill-advised. Why would you want to see only one next action per list group? If you group by context, why would you want to see only one errand? Of if you group by deadline, why would you want to see only one task for each date? If you group by project, why would you want to see only one of its true next actions? I simply do not understand.

My recommendation would be to clean the UI and take away this feature - or explain what good it does :-)
