I have this issue with repeating actions, as well. Marking a repeating action as complete generates the next iteration of the task directly below the completed task, automatically designating it as the next action. Currently, it seems the only way to perform
bpwhistler's request involves multiple steps, but perhaps I'm missing something.
- In Planning Mode*, set the Status filter to Remaining.
- Select all tasks of the project in the main outline (right pane).
- Right click, and select “Sort” then “By Due Date” in the contextual menu. (You can also use Edit > Sort or manually sort by due date using drag and drop).
- Set the Status filter to Next Action.
*This doesn't work in Context Mode since next actions are dictated by the order of tasks set in Planning Mode. In Context Mode, with remaining actions shown, you can group by Project and sort by due date, but filtering for next actions will still show the first action in that project in the Planning mode.
