In LeaderTask, there are two types of task sorting:
- One-time (Manual) Sorting
- Continuous (Automatic) Sorting
One-time sorting is a manual action that you perform whenever you want to rearrange tasks in a specific order. It can be done based on one of three parameters:
- Creation Date
- Color
- Date and time associated with the task
One-time sorting works only for your personal tasks, including those assigned by you. One-time sorting cannot be initiated while continuous sorting is enabled.
Continuous sorting is an ongoing rule that automatically arranges tasks in a specific order. New tasks are automatically placed in the appropriate section of the list. Continuous sorting can be done based on one of 19 parameters:
- Owner (who created the task)
- Status
- Name
- Date and time associated with the task
- Date and time associated with the task (in the format DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM)
- Time interval from the present moment to the date and time associated with the task
- Presence of attached file, formatted note (.rtf file), link to a local file or folder
- Presence of a note
- Presence of a comment in the built-in chat
- Label
- Attached contact
- Project
- Customer
- Assignee
- Creation Date
- Last Modification Date
- Color
- Size (occupied space in bytes)
- Planned task execution time / Actual task execution time
To enable continuous sorting:
- Click on the search button in the task list.
- The filtering panel will appear.
- Display the desired column (right-click on the header of any column, select ‘Columns,’ then choose the desired column).
- Click on the header of the column.
- Sorting will be enabled, and a vertical arrow will appear next to the list title (e.g., ‘Today’).
- To reverse the sorting, click on the column header again.
Important Note: Before enabling continuous sorting, the order of tasks is automatically memorized. After disabling continuous sorting, tasks will return to their initial order.
To disable continuous sorting, double-click on the column header. The vertical arrow next to the list name will disappear.
