Research Log

[GenerationGoneBy 0]

 

Notice in the above image, that the sort is by Task name. Notice the 7 tasks that start with Deed-Book 38 are all sorted in order by page number

 

 

 

Now notice the same tasks are sorted differently when first sorted by keyword. Best I can tell they are sorting first by keyword and then by edited order. Why are they not sorting by keyword and then in order by taskname?

 

Lee says they are working fine for him, but this has been consistent behavior for me since upgrading to 7.04. I would find it much more helpful if they sorted by task name than this fairly random sort of lasted edited. The tasks not showing in the list haven't been edited yet.

I can't see that anything was done that would affect Research Log sorting between v7.03 and v7.04.

 

And, as far as I know, the Research Log has never had second level sorting.

Jim,

 

Is there a way we could have it default to task name over edited date? It seems to me having them in alphabetical order over random by when last edited.

No second level that I recall either.

 

It appears to limit the sort to about 20 characters.

That would definitely explain what I am seeing when sorting by keyword, but not when sorting by task name.
