Task sorting (planned time, oldest tasks, by channel/context, objective etc)
Alysa Buchanan
As a user, I want to sort and filter my tasks to assist in the planning of my day.
Filter function (or perhaps channel grouping?): Show selected channels and hide others. User Case // When viewing the #all channel during normal work hours, I only want to see two of my seven channels and hide the others. In the evenings, I want to see three different channels and hide the channels used during the day.
This filtering function may be combined with sorting options:
- Shortest time estimated at the top, longest at the bottom (and the reverse). As a user, I like working this way to either gain momentum by knocking out smaller tasks. Alternatively, depending on my mood, some days I prefer to tackle the long projects first while my mind is fresh.
- Oldest tasks at the top, newest at the bottom (and in reverse). As a user, this would help me quickly identify what tasks have been dragging along.
- By priority (I see this is also a request by another user. A visual indication of high/med/low/no priority would help as well)

Would like task lists that I can sort by category
Danielle Catuccio
I would like to have category based task lists. I.e. Household maintenance/improvement; Car maintenance etc, so that I can choose a random task from a list when I have time to do it, like change my oil or hang those pictures I've been meaning to. I tend to forget about these things and then never do them. To archive ALL tasks while helpful for not forgetting, is overwhelming to look at that list. I want to be able to rotate through when I have 45 min for appropriate tasks for that chunk o' time. I think that's what is not working for me currently about Sunsama.

Would love to have a button that I can click to cause today's tasks to reorder based on what channel they're in.

Love this. If I could sort my tasks from longest to shortest or shortest to longest, it would be a big help. Some days I want to "eat that frog" and knock out all of my short tasks without putting them on my calendar, and some days I want to make progress on my biggest tasks before getting to the smaller things.

e.g. would love to filter all of my 5min. tasks so I can quickly grind out quick things on my to-do list; would also be helpful to sort this way so certain length/channel tasks show up at the bottom or top of my daily list

+1 for setting priority in the tasks
Joe Ahearn
This comes up for me especially in the "Review" views (Daily, Weekly) where you can't filter by channel at all, and I end up trying to manually drag them into an order to make sure I can see how the day will/did flow.

I'd love to be able to sort by context/channel as well! Facilitates batching tasks, decreasing context-switching.
