Save combination of Search and Sort

rdd	Posted: Oct 06, 2009 Score: 7 Reference rdd Posted: Oct 06, 2009 Score: 7 Reference Hello, the search and sort features are really great! In my opinion it could easily replace all other views, since you are able to create your own views as you like. However, it could be so much better if it was possible to save a search that also includes the way of sorting that makes sense for that particular search. Suppose you have a search for all tasks with Folder=Sports, then it might make sense to sort by Tag if you have tags like running, skiing, climbing, etc. But for another search, for example Folder=Shopping, it might make more sense to sort by Context if you have contexts like @supermarket, @mall, etc. In the current situation you first click your saved search and then adjust the sorting. This takes several mouse clicks extra (plus extra thinking), which is a pity.

magictorch	Posted: Mar 19, 2010 Score: 0 Reference magictorch Posted: Mar 19, 2010 Score: 0 Reference I use Search as my default view and have a minimum of 10 saved searches that I use at any given time as they're tailored almost exactly as I need them. It would be much more useful if you could include sorting, filters, and defaults for notes, dividers and subtask display on a per search basis however. As it is I have to manually adjust these when switching between searches. For instance, some of my searches are a broad overview and subtasks need to be hidden for ease of reading, but others look for tasks due within certain time frames and subtasks need to be flattened otherwise they won't appear at all if the due date differs from the parent task.
nlwclark	Posted: Apr 23, 2010 Score: 0 Reference nlwclark Posted: Apr 23, 2010 Score: 0 Reference I would love to see this feature as well. I'm a new Toodledo User, and so far this is my only major issue; I want to quickly scan a few lists in the morning, and that only works if they are sorted correctly. I suggest saving sort settings in each tab rather than each "View." At the very least, the ability to save the sort settings within our saved searches. Loving the site in general. I switched over from RTM and have been amazed at how quickly I got to "doing" rather than just tweaking my system!

rdd	Posted: Jun 25, 2010 Score: 0 Reference rdd Posted: Jun 25, 2010 Score: 0 Reference I posted this long ago. Any progress on this issue? Maybe some thought from the side of Toodledo?
Transisto	Posted: Jun 25, 2010 Score: 1 Reference Transisto Posted: Jun 25, 2010 Score: 1 Reference indeed, It's a feature most people would use. I had the vision of a simple up/down button along the task to bump or decrease priority. But with only 4 level , low med high top, it's less interesting.
Adam Compton	Posted: Jul 26, 2010 Score: 0 Reference Adam Compton Posted: Jul 26, 2010 Score: 0 Reference For what it's worth, I would also very much like this feature. I've given up on trying to use the built-in categorization options (view by folder/tag/context/etc.), and I was hoping to save searches to generate the views I needed most often. However, not being able to save the sort, subtask state (flattened etc.) and columns also makes this feature of limited use to me.
marcoluce	Posted: Jan 09, 2011 Score: 0 Reference marcoluce Posted: Jan 09, 2011 Score: 0 Reference I absolutely support this point! Please make the sorting saveable together with a search. Here's why: I have a search for "Next actions" (GTD) sorted by context, priority and due date. Subtasks are flattened. I have another search for "Projects" which needs to be sorted by priority first, and with intended subtasks.
