Sorting shortcuts

💡 Features / Ideas

Hi!

I sort my lists a lot but I find that the process to do it via keyboard shortcuts could be improved.

My suggestion would be to add a follow up shortcut, after the ss shortcut, like this:

  1. press ss;
  2. press az or za for sorting A-Z or Z-A, respectively; or press 19 or 91 to sort by priority.

So we’d end up doing something like ssaz to quickly sort the list A-Z.

I hope this makes sense! :sweat_smile:

Thanks!

This is a good idea.

Another option I would like is macro capabilities. Recording a series of keystrokes and replaying them as needed seems like a Checkvist kind of solution for a lot common tasks.

Hello folks,

Thanks for the idea. Could you please check how it works on https://beta.checkvist.com ?

That’s huge. It deserves a separate feature request, of course. Could you please create a separate ticket for this and describe a couple of macro you’d record?

Thanks!

I like this! Especially that it works regardless of whether “reverse order” is checked or not.

Could we also get hotkeys for the other sort options?

Maybe…

Priority/color: 1 → 9
19
Alphabetically: A → Z
az
Due date: recent first
d1
Time created: recent first
c1
Time updated: recent first
u1

And…

Priority/color: 9 → 1
91
Alphabetically: Z → A
za
Due date: recent last
d0
Time created: recent last
c0
Time updated: recent last
u0

Or really anything else that makes sense, since I tend to use those options the most.
