Task list sorting?
I have entered a DUE DATE for several tasks. List sorts by this just fine.
If I enter a new task with a due date - in the past - seems like it should sort to the top - but no - it sorts to just AFTER any others with dates. How do I get a true sort by any due date? Thx. JDS

Task list sorting?
As a very general answer: click the column header to sort.
I have no idea what you are looking at by the way. Which version? Which folder? Which view? I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Task list sorting?
Sorry I forgot my details!
Outlook 2003. Looking at the Calendar view - with task list on the right side. I have 3 tasks with 4/25 due date. They sort to top - clicking on the due date header. I want to add a past due task with date of 4/23. There is the problem - it does NOT sort to top! It sits in the 4th position - below the 3 4/25 dates. Hope that draws a clearer picture.

Task list sorting?
What you are describing is the TaskPad - that's what it says on the heading
in 2003. Try customising it and setting your preferred grouping and sorting this way: right click the column header (the grey bar where it says Subject or Due date etc) Customise Current View Set the Group by.. choices Set the Fields ....choices. I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Task list sorting?
That doesn't get it either - anytime I add a date - in the past - it does
not go to the top! Grouped or not makes no dif. The group dated 4/30 sorts to the top with balance of tasks assigned no due date. I then select 1 task and enter the date 4/24 - and it moves to the middle of 4/30 and no date group! Other thoughts? Seems like a bug here. "Judy Gleeson (MVP Outlook)" wrote in message ...
