Due date field disabled?

I looked for enabling and disabling due date in the list of topics at that url but couldn't see anything relevant. Do you mean hiding the due date column? My due date column is not hidden and most of my tasks have due dates.

I'd appreciate any clarification you can provide.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

If I tap "Sorted by...", the options are:

First sort by:

Alphabetical
Context
Date Added
Date Completed
Date Modified
Folder
Importance
Priority
Star
Tag

Then sort by: ...


No Due Date. What am I missing?

Cheers,

Steve

I wonder if Toodledo would please confirm that Toodledo's own iPhone App doesn't offer sorting by due date. The other Toodledo front-end iPhone Apps offer the feature.

Besides that surprising omission, I prefer Toodledo's own App over the others.

Hello,

The forum doesn't have a wish list or issue reporting section so I'll use this section until otherwise instructed.

Toodledo's sorting is useful but it seems to have a deficiency: you can only select sorting direction (forward, reverse) on the first sorting criterion, not on the second and third criteria.

Cheers,

Steve

Hello Toodledo Forum Administrator and thanks for your reply.

What you say is true. And I like the importance feature. I'd just like to give it a little tweak - maybe optional:

Importance doesn't currently take a task's repeat frequency into consideration. For example, once a daily task is overdue, I'd like its importance to increase faster than, say, a weekly task's importance, even if the weekly task's raw overdueness is greater the daily task's overdueness.

Thats the way Lucid Lists works. In other words, Lucid Lists gives weight to the number of times you've missed a "repeat". Its surprisingly powerful in practice and seems obvious once you've seen it working.

Missed-repeat weighting aside, let me say how much Toodledo's power, scope and facility continue to amaze me. Bravo.

Hi

Lucid Lists is a cool iPhone app that keeps a list of repeating tasks. I use it for, sort of, self improvement. I have repeating tasks like Practice the Guitar, Call Mom, Email Sister, Backup Web Server.

I'd like to replace Lucid Lists with ToodleDo. ToodleDo has powerful repeating and also a cool repeat-from-completion (rather than due date).

However ToodleDo lacks a subtle feature which is the heart of Lucid Lists: Lucid Lists sorts the tasks using an algorithm based on both due date and number of times you've missed a repeat. So, Practice the Guitar, which repeats daily, will move up the list every day rising above slower-repeating tasks even though their due dates are older. See?

Before raising a feature request support ticket, I'd like to know if there is a way to simulate that behavior with ToodleDo,

Cheers,

Steve
