Prioritizing todos
I'd like to be able to (re)order my list of todos to that the most timely/urgent are at the top.

Inappropriate?I will second this request. Sandy is great and incorporating this feature would make my jumbled task list that much easier to navigate! -

Inappropriate?This would be great. -
Inappropriate?Couldn't you just at additional tags to the items when submitting as a todo? I regularly use the @urgent tag, and have added it to daily digest, so I see all urgent items, even if they have due dates past today. If you wanted more verbose options, you could use a scale like: @low, @medium, @high.
I know it's not perfect, but it works. And it even lets me flag meetings and notes rather then just todos. -
Inappropriate?c0n0r, what do you mean "have added it to daily digest"? -
Inappropriate?If you look at your daily digest online, ie your Sandy "home page", there is a "Customize your Daily Digest" link in the lower right.
The direct URL is:
http://www.iwantsandy.com/digest;cust...
This allows you to enter a tag that is always shown in your digest & on your homepage.
I don't have any one tag with more then a couple dozen items, so I don't know if there is any kind of limit of number of items displayed. -
Inappropriate?Howdy,
I just did a little to-do prioritizing to test something out (I'm not a big fan of prioritizing by number or letter or the like myself) and thought I'd post a suggestion here:
Let's say I had Sandy remember 4 to-dos for you, like so:
remember bottom priority thing @todo @e
remember top priority thing @todo @a
remember medium priority thing @todo @c
remember another equally high priority thing @todo @a
(Pretend, of course, that I'd sent these over some period of time by email.)
Now I visit my to-dos by clicking "Your stuff > To-dos" [http://iwantsandy.com/list?type=todo]. I see my to-dos in tag order, but still have a lot of other things mixed in (ex. @todo @home), when what I really want is a list of prioritized to-dos only.
So I select my priority tags from the right-hand sidebar's tag list (a, b, c, d, and e), one at a time.
And I de-select the "todo" tag as otherwise I'll see all my to-dos, not just the prioritized ones.
And then I bookmark that page [http://iwantsandy.com/list?type=todo&...,b,c,d,e,f&sort=tag]. Now any time I want to see my to-dos sorted by priority, I just visit that bookmarked page and there they are. Similarly, to see only those items that are top-priority, I visit http://iwantsandy.com/list?type=todo&...,b&sort=tag .
While I don't usually prioritize things in this way, I do indeed use just this method for keeping track of my fixmes (if you're a programmer, you know what I mean ;-):
http://iwantsandy.com/list?type=todo&...
And things I've been meaning to get to around the house:
http://iwantsandy.com/list?type=todo&...
Enjoy!

Inappropriate?I think I get your method, and I tried implementing it. I get a list of items tagged with my priority tags (a,b,c,...) but they aren't sorted by tag?!
What might be amiss?
Thanks,
Lew
I’m befuddled.
-
Inappropriate?Using @a @b @c @d etc. seems a little terse. Using @low @medium @high doesn't seem right either. I've settled on @priority1 @priority2 etc
The real question is, can I get items with different priorities to show up in different colors? (i.e. appear highlighted.) This is for the web site and the html email.
Sandy does this now with overdue todo items, can this be expanded upon? -
Inappropriate?You could sort them on normal Sandy front page by using the "Customise" option top right of the daily digest white "page" (i.e. not top of web page, just white area where sandy writes the digest).
In there you can opt to separate out certain tags and they separate out in the order you type them so typing
@1 @2 @3 @4 @5 @Todo @shopping @work etc etc etc
Produces
@1
Pay X
Do Y
@2
Sort out B
@3
Ring Z
etc etc
Also uses this sort in your emailed Daily Digest
For multiple tags you get them in full for the first tag they match then a note at the end of the other tags e.g.
@todo
Do gardening

I’m happy

Inappropriate?What about the development of a general web-based user interface for editing? LIke where you could click and remove and add items from the website? I really like the flexibility that I can use email and sms, but I would like it coupled with the convenience of a simple, visual user interface available online that requires no memory of commands or power moves.
I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?Elizabeth,
Sandy has a web-based user interface. iwantsandy.com How are you not aware of it? I thought people had to go to the website in order to create an account.
