Hi,
I use the tag option to add individual identfiers to tasks (plain numbers).
If I get Toodledo to sort them, it does not sort numerically, but in some other way, where the 10, 11, 12 etc follow the 1 directly. 2,3,4,etc follow after that.

So you get (for a range of 29 tasks):
1, 10, 11, 12, ..., 19, 2, 20, 21, 22, ..., 29, 3, 4,5,6,7,8,9.

I have tried various settings that I thought could sort this, but no luck so far.
Any ideas anyone?

How about using 2-digit numbers for all of them, i.e. 01, 02, 03 ... 09, 10, 11, 12 ... ?

If they might go over 99, then use 3-digit numbers, etc.

Disclamer: I don't use tags and I didn't verify that this works, but it seems like it should if the tag field is sorted as text. Unless TD removes the leading zeros.
