The whole app could really use some AJAX-ifying. Tasks sorting, priority updating on the fly, that sort of thing.

The whole app could really use some AJAX-ifying. Tasks sorting, priority updating on the fly, that sort of thing. The interface is pretty but kinda clunky at the moment.

Are there any plans for this?

I just ran into this issue working on my company's website redesign. I have a "Write web content" checklist set up with each content page as an individual task. For example:

/blue-widgets/index.html
/blue-widgets/why-blue-widgets-are-great.html
/blue-widgets/blue-widget-construction.html
/red-widgets/index.html
/red-widgets/what-red-widgets-can-do-for-you.html
/red-widgets/red-widget-construction.html
/yellow-widgets/index.html
/yellow-widgets/yellow-widgets-suck.html
/yellow-widgets/why-we-dont-make-yellow-widgets.html

etc

I now have these tasks in place, but just thought of another page:
/blue-widgets/blue-widget-recalls.html

Adding this task to the checklist puts it at the bottom, whereas I'd really like it to be in with the other /blue-widget/ pages.

Drag and drop task re-ordering would be a big plus.

In other words, to create a linear checklist for a process where there are ordered steps. Priority does not provide this, and it would be misleading to apply it in such a fashion. When creating checklists, sometimes you discover a step you need to insert, or you realize that another order may be better. Being able to drag and drop to reorder would be essential.

For our group, it would be essential to be able to reorder tasks... I can't see our group sticking around without this.

I was planning to upgrade but instead we're sticking with 0.7.1 for now and looking at options beyond aC for the future because we need tasks to be a place to quickly and easily collect all the little things on an ongoing basis, and then organize them.

Didn't pre 1.0 do this?

The more I work with the system the more, unfortunately, I feel this may be a deal breaker for me. (I'm on the trial right now.)

It goes to the way I do most of my PM work. In which I start off with a brain-dump of all the activity I know I have to do into a list. And THEN I sort and sequence it and define milestones etc. Right not it feels like I have to have a plan before I make a plan. And If I just stick in my first stab, then its way to much work to re-arrange later.

Just my 2cents.

It's too easy to miss something just because you can't reorder any list. A reordering dropdown list like in the Assigment section would be great. Given it has the ability to "remember" the last ordering scheme chosen for each list.
