Sorting tasks
Within a section, the order of tasks is yours. Put the thing you will do first at the top.
Two ways to reorder
Section titled “Two ways to reorder”- Drag a task up or down with the mouse or trackpad.
- Keyboard: select a task and press
⌘↑or⌘↓to move it.
Where order is kept
Section titled “Where order is kept”Order is remembered per context, independently:
- global Today and global Backlog
- each project’s Today and Backlog
So a task can sit near the top of your global Today and wherever you like inside its project, without the two fighting each other.
Editing a task leaves it where it is
Section titled “Editing a task leaves it where it is”Only a reorder changes a task’s position. Renaming a task, editing its description, setting a deadline, or filing it into a different project all leave it exactly where you put it.
The one thing that does move a task is moving it between sections. A task you send to Today or Backlog arrives at the top of that list, ready to be ranked.
The Inbox is different
Section titled “The Inbox is different”The Inbox is not reorderable. It stays in the order you captured things, because the Inbox is for processing, not planning. When something matters enough to rank, you move it to Today or Backlog, where order means something.
