Sort by due date by default #1909

Hi! I tried the project in the very beginning and I am trying it now again. I love the progress so far! I have a question about sorting lists. At the moment if I see the upcoming view or any list, the tasks are not sorted by due date by default and the only way I can sort them, is by switching to the table view (not available for the upcoming list) and sort by clicking on the due date column, and I also need to exclude the complete tasks explicitly because it always shows them by default in the table view.

What am I missing? Is there any particular reason why the tasks are not sorted by due date by default? I am using the latest Docker images. Thanks!

(I was about to mention that the "Today" view actually shows tasks in the next 24 hours from now, but it seems to have been reported in another issue already)

Hi!

Right now the only option you have for the default list view is sorting tasks alphabetically via the filters option at the top left. We could probably extend that option to allow sorting by due date as well.

So far, I never sorted tasks by due date in the list views because I liked the chronological order it has by default. When I want to sort by due date, I usually want to know what tasks are due soon over all projects, hence the upcoming and home page views.

Upcoming should always sort the newest tasks first but there's been some issues and fixes in vikunja/frontend#1342.

Hola! Thanks for replying so quickly. I see this in the filters

I don't see sorting options. Did you mean top right?

In try.vikunja.io I see this

image

but I don't see it in my installation with the latest Docker image.

As for the upcoming list, I see this for today:

Here too it would be nice to see the tasks due sooner first.

Thanks!

Ah, I see the "Sort alphabetically" option in the try version. So this version is more up to date than the one with the latest Docker image?

It's weird because in the About info for try.vikunja.io I see this:

CleanShot 2022-03-23 at 03.55.46@2x

While for my installation I see this:

CleanShot 2022-03-23 at 03.56.05@2x

as if my version is more recent at least for the frontend.

Sorry, yes I meant top right (as you correctly figured out). Try runs the unstable version and is updated automatically. The version you see basically says "Version 0.18.2 but with 1313 more changes since the release". Unstable is always more recent than the last release.
