This is one of the best applications out there for task management. It has more functionality than the higher rated Wunderlist, but people flock to the latter for one reason:

Drag and drop sorting functionality in web interface and mobile apps...

I'd like to start a conversation thread where we suggest to the development team some fast and (hopefully) programming-light ways to quickly solve this sorting drag-and-drop functionality issue. There is no doubt that as a result of any improvements in this direction, this will be the #1 best of breed item on the market.

To sum up the issue, here is the current functionality:

Drag and Drop DOES work to:
1. Drag a task onto another to make it a subtask of that task (pro subscription)
2. Manually drag and drop sort subtasks (web interface only, would be extremely helpful on the mobile apps)

Wish list functionality:
1. Manually drag and drop sort all task types on both web interface and mobile apps.

Quick "fix" suggestion for end-users to workaround limits above:
1. Have a parent task called "today's list" or "now list"
Tasks can be dragged into this list as sub-tasks where they can be manually sorted (so uses sub-task functionality). Only issue is any sub task that doesn't get done that day, needs to be manually dragged back to actual parent tasks they belonged under...

Quick programming/development suggestion for the above (again, developers can tell us if really "simple" or not):
1. Enable a sub task to be "filed" under multiple parent tasks, this way it could appear under a "today's list" task as well as another parent task.

I think this is an important enhancement to keep Toodledo competitive with other apps.

Thanks for the suggestion. We can't comment on a timeframe for implementation, but this is on our to-do list.
