Task sorting (planned time, oldest tasks, by channel/context, objective etc)
Alysa Buchanan
As a user, I want to sort and filter my tasks to assist in the planning of my day.
Filter function (or perhaps channel grouping?): Show selected channels and hide others. User Case // When viewing the #all channel during normal work hours, I only want to see two of my seven channels and hide the others. In the evenings, I want to see three different channels and hide the channels used during the day.
This filtering function may be combined with sorting options:
- Shortest time estimated at the top, longest at the bottom (and the reverse). As a user, I like working this way to either gain momentum by knocking out smaller tasks. Alternatively, depending on my mood, some days I prefer to tackle the long projects first while my mind is fresh.
- Oldest tasks at the top, newest at the bottom (and in reverse). As a user, this would help me quickly identify what tasks have been dragging along.
- By priority (I see this is also a request by another user. A visual indication of high/med/low/no priority would help as well)

I really wanna sort by planned time… But I see this request has not been fulfilled since 2020… Even though it should be a relatively simple addition, considering there’s already a sorting mechanism
and
since the sorting options are hidden behind cmd+K, the addition wouldn’t clutter the interface either.Rafał Olenderski
Also I would need sorting in all views with channel, contex, due date, creation date, startdate and in the future priority if possible. Would be helfully to organise our task if we have a lot of them.

Would like task lists that I can sort by category
Danielle Catuccio
I would like to have category based task lists. I.e. Household maintenance/improvement; Car maintenance etc, so that I can choose a random task from a list when I have time to do it, like change my oil or hang those pictures I've been meaning to. I tend to forget about these things and then never do them. To archive ALL tasks while helpful for not forgetting, is overwhelming to look at that list. I want to be able to rotate through when I have 45 min for appropriate tasks for that chunk o' time. I think that's what is not working for me currently about Sunsama.

Would love to have a button that I can click to cause today's tasks to reorder based on what channel they're in.

Sorting and filtering
Tejas Sharma
Just like for Notion, by priority, sort by date, etc.
Mack Rixe
Love this. If I could sort my tasks from longest to shortest or shortest to longest, it would be a big help. Some days I want to "eat that frog" and knock out all of my short tasks without putting them on my calendar, and some days I want to make progress on my biggest tasks before getting to the smaller things.

Sort & filter tasks
Christopher Tarantino
Add the ability to sort & filter tasks based on length, channel, etc.
Christopher Tarantino
e.g. would love to filter all of my 5min. tasks so I can quickly grind out quick things on my to-do list; would also be helpful to sort this way so certain length/channel tasks show up at the bottom or top of my daily list

Order tasks based on group and channel
Jeff Haskin
I grouped my channels based on how central they are to my health, with self care at the top and actual work tasks at the bottom.
I’d love my tasks to auto-sort based on their group and channel within that group.

+1 for setting priority in the tasks
