Task Reordering

Task Reordering lets you manually arrange tasks within a list by dragging them into the order that makes sense for your workflow. Instead of being locked into a sort order defined by dates or priorities, you can sequence tasks exactly the way you want to work through them.

✍️ How Task Reordering works

Every task in an applicable list has a drag handle that appears when you hover or select the task. Grab the handle and drag the task to any position in the list — above or below other tasks — to set your preferred order.

The order is saved automatically and persists until you change it or apply a different sort.

🎙️ How to reorder tasks

1. Open any task list (personal Tasks, team Tasks, or a view that supports reordering)

2. Hover over a task or select it — a drag handle appears on the left side

3. Hold and drag the handle to move the task up or down

4. Release to drop it in the new position

5. The order saves automatically

💡 The handle appears after a brief hover — if you move too quickly, pause for a moment on the task to reveal it.

⚠️ Where reordering is and isn't available

Reordering is available in:

• Personal task lists

• Team task lists (All and Unassigned tabs)

• Custom database views without a forced sort

Reordering is not available in:

• Overdue — tasks here are sorted by date and cannot be manually ordered

• Upcoming — tasks are sorted chronologically by scheduled date

• Inbox — contains mixed content types (tasks, events, notifications) with their own ordering logic

• Views with an active sort applied — manual ordering is disabled when a sort is in force

💡 Why manual ordering matters

Automated sorting by date or priority is useful, but it doesn't always reflect how you actually want to work. Task Reordering lets you:

• Sequence tasks in the order you plan to tackle them

• Surface the most important task at the top regardless of its scheduled date

• Create a personal execution order that matches your thinking

• Quickly reprioritize mid-day by dragging tasks up or down

It's a small feature with a big impact on how natural and personal your task list feels.

🗣️ Use cases

Task Reordering is especially useful for:

• Daily planning — arrange today's tasks in the order you want to work through them

• Focus sequencing — put your most important task first so it's always visible

• Team task ordering — sequence team tasks in priority order without changing their status or dates

• Flexible triage — quickly drag urgent tasks to the top when priorities change during the day

• Personal workflow — create a task order that matches how your brain works, not just when things are due
