jsmail63-reg	Posted Nov 14, 2008 in: Sequencing of subtasks / dependencies. When will we have this fu Score: 0 jsmail63-reg Posted: Nov 14, 2008 Score: 0 Hey, here's an idea.. Even "basic" sequencing for top-level tasks would be awesome and VERY helpful. How about just adding a Task "sequence" field and having this be one of the choices for sort order?

This is how other systems like Franklin Covey handled sequencing and basic 'ordering' of task lists.. Their system used a letter (A, B, or C) for priority (corresponding to high, medium and low), and then a number after it - like, "A1, A2, B1, B2, B3", etc. Seems like all it would take for a basic solution here would be having a field we could put something like that into. Or, just put "1, 2, 3" in. The downside is that wouldn't be particularly elegant - ie: there'd be no drag and drop to re-sequence. But it would be an excellent "stop gap" for those of us who need basic task sequencing. This would be a HUGE improvement for those of us who's task lists have lots of things on it every day, as even ordering by priority really isn't enough to be able to put a basic order of "do this first, THEN this", etc to the list. Thanks!
