JTX task ordering / sub-ordering?

[kellyclowers]

Wondering if it might be possible to get sub-ordering, or at least one type of sub-ordering. I am specifically thinking it would be useful to have all tasks with a due date at all at the top, and then order by priority e.g.:

• Due tomorrow
• Due in 2 days
• Due in 7 days
• No due date, pri 1
• No due date, pri 2
• No due date, pri 8

Right now if you order by due date, those with dates all go at the top, in due order, but ones without... I think go by order they were created in?

But that's definitely more annoying to implement. And I know that specific one would be useful to me, IDK of others might have other types of sub-ordering they would want, and it might explode into arbitrary combinations...

I guess the other option would be for me to just always make ones with due dates use the highest, and ones without use lower, there are 10 levels to play with after all... maybe that's just the better way...

In the latest version you can at least set a default start or due date for tasks in the settings, maybe it helps just a little bit with ordering.

Hey @kellyclowers , sorry for the late reply!
I get the problem, actually I think a second, optional sort order would make sense and could easily be implemented.
I will follow up here: https://gitlab.com/techbeeat1/jtx/-/issues/307
If you have any further comments, I'd appreciate if we could continue the discussion there!
