Am I being really really dumb or is there a way to sort the drop downs where you pick Context & Project from when clipping from Mail to OF?

I suspect there is not a way to sort them, but more to the point here, there's a much better way than navigating those lists than as drop-downs - just type some characters from the project or context name you want and OF will auto-match.

I assume you are referring to Quickentry window. I don't know of any way of doing this. I've sent them feedback a number of times but so far no news of change.

Thanks for the pointer. I'm moving across a lot of tasks now I'm ready for OF (been watching for a while) and would prefer to select from lists.

I did an export/import (aka Rebuild Database) and everything's fine now. Filed a bug report too.

Thanks

Those project and context pulldown lists are supposed to be sorted to match their order in the sidebar (just like they're currently sorted in the inbox). It's a bug that they're not, and we plan to fix it.

That's great to hear! my projects are sorted alphabetically in the sidebar; so, this will be a big help.

Thanks.
