The controls are scoped to the view you’re in. Sort All Tasks by due date, group a project’s list by assignee — each choice sticks to that view and is waiting next time you open it. No global setting to fight; every list can have its own shape.

Order the list however helps. The catch worth knowing: the moment you drag a task to reorder it by hand, the sort flips to Custom — your manual arrangement takes over, because you clearly meant it.

Custom

Your own hand-arranged order. Any manual drag switches to this.

Due ↑ / Due ↓

By due date, soonest-first or latest-first.

Title A–Z / Z–A

Alphabetical, either direction.

Created newest / oldest

By when the task was captured.

Bucket the list under headings to see structure. Groups are collapsible — fold one away, or collapse allat once for a bird’s-eye view — and you can drag the group headers to reorder the buckets themselves.

None

A single flat list, ungrouped.

Project

Grouped by the owning project.

List

Grouped by the list a task sits in.

Due

Grouped by due date — overdue, today, later.

Assignee

Grouped by who owns each task.

Tag

Grouped by tag.

Narrow the view to just what matters. Stack filters as needed; an active-filter count badge shows how many are on, and Clear filtersresets them in one move so you’re never wondering why half your tasks are hiding.

Due

By date — overdue, today, this week, or undated.

Assignee

By who owns the task.

Has a note

Only tasks that carry a free-text note.

Project

Limit to one or more projects.

Filter badge

A count of active filters, so the current lens is never a mystery.

Clear filters

Resets every filter at once.

Sort, group, and filter compose. Filter to #copy with a note, group by project, sort each group by due date — three small choices that turn a long list into exactly the working set you wanted, and the view keeps it that way until you change your mind.
