This enhancement request was first posted on January 6 of 2017. It’s been the number one enhancement request for two years now. It’s been listed as planned since the release of OIS 13, yet still no hint that it’s been started or that it will ever be released. I so desperately want to give Informant 5 a five star rating, but at this point in the game, drag and drop réarrangement of tasks has to be considered as core functionality. I think you owe your loyal subscribers an update and an explanation as to why this is taking so long and if you are really serious about ever implementing this.

After using this app for over a decade or two (remember Personal Digital Assistants?), I'm about to move on due to this one "missing but extremely useful" feature. I guess the logic in their code just won't adapt to it. Sorry folks, I need a quick way to adapt my task list everyday.

Not sure if this is related, but when drag /drop sorting in the focus view (or task view), that the ABC priority gets automatically updated. For example, is something is B5 and moved up, then it automatically changes to B1 or A3. Is this the same?

I have been a PI user for many years but honestly lack of this feature has made me stop using tasks on a day to day basis.
What is the point If i can’t quickly prioritize and reprioritize my tasks, except to go in and change “level of important” of each item.....

I don't get it. An item with only 34 votes (integration with Workflow app) is showing as Planned, yet this item (drag and drop sorting of tasks) with 299 votes has been on the enhancement list for three years with no hint of it every being taken seriously. At this point I would prefer if you just be honest with us and tell us this isn't going to happen. What's the point of voting if the number of votes don't matter.

The ability to sort my focus view by my current choice (context, project, priority, etc.) would be incredibly useful. Being able to then drag and drop to order my day would make it perfect!

Re-iterating, adding TAGS into the current inbuilt sorting criteria is an important one for me (especially for the Focus view).
Add it to the 2nd last criteria (before Alphanumeric) would be hugely useful (so it becomes something like Due/Completed Date, Priority, Tag, Alphanumeric). This would ensure common tags (of the same priority) are seen together. (If multiple tags exist, just the first tag is used, which is how a task's colour is determined when colour is based on tag). So to be clear, my votes here are for this enhanced criteria based approach, not the manual sort approach (although useful, I can see would be programmatically more challenging). -

Ok so I have to create a project out of my tasks in order to organized my tasks by drag and drop. Be nice if they can just update the app so that you can drag and drop reorganize tasks anywhere not just in the project folder. This would be much more user friendly as in most apps you click on edit then you can drag and drop tasks and reorganize them the way you want.

Informant is by far the best event and task manager app with only one key feature missing - re-arranging tasks via drag and drop. Things, Goodtask 3 and now Sorted3 all have this feature. I think this is a must have enhancement, and one that had been on the enhancement list for at least three years now

It would be great to filter the tasks in the Focus view by tags so you can isolate which tasks you are able to see even further. This would really help you focus on what you want to do at a given time of day.

I agree with this suggestion.

Sorting tasks *within* smart filters, *within* each view by multiple fields such as by priority then project or vice versa would suit may peoples' needs perfectly. I use several smart filters within Focus View, one for tasks overdue or due today and one for tasks due within a week are two examples. Sorting the first filter by priority and then project would allow me to address the immediate while sorting the second by project and then priority gives me a planning view of what's just around the corner when discussing projects and priorities with coworkers and employees.
