Views and sorting
 

Hello,
I wonder who can enlighten me: I have some problems to understand the "sorting" pane (third from the left) in my "next review"-view (this propably applies to all possible views).

Here is how I've set it up:

I selected "View", "active projects", "next review"… whatever I
select in the next pane ("unsorted" or "name" or "next review"…) I seem not to be able to understand the underlying logic of the different ways to sort.

E.g. I'd expect if I select sth. with [I]date[/I] (due/start) to be able to either have "this week" or "next week" on top or at the bottom. I'd like to sort actions according to their urgency (based on time) on duration (again based on time input into the proper fields) etc.

Can someone supply me with some examples to put this to meaninful use?

Greetings, Rolf

In planning mode, the sort button operates on the projects, not on the actions in the projects. Put dates on a few projects, and you will see what I mean. If you want to sort the actions, try context mode.
