I would like to create more priorities than the standard High, Medium, etc. because those options are specific enough. I would like to use letters or numbers to sort by exact priority. How can I do that or something similar to that? Thanks.

You can't modify the priority field, but you could use the 'tag' field for this purpose, or if you are not already using folder or context, you could repurpose those fields for your needs.

Other fields are used for their intended purpose, Multiple Tags get bunched together and Start times are inconvenient as they are not drop-down menu options. |

I kind of like this -- not just for priorities but, if it was a generic incremental or drop-down number field, I could use it to quickly track "days skipped" on tasks, to see which ones I'm "accidentally" determining are NOT high-priority.

I Agree! Custom would be VERY helpful for me...Billed, Billed to date, Morning, PM, etc...

That is a perfect use for tags.

Jake,
Which of those is a perfect use for tags? My desired use of a "drop-down numbers field" is unwieldy with tags. I end up with way too many tags! |

What I meant was "Billed, Billed to date, Morning, PM" are good tags.
If you are trying to manually sort your tasks by assigning each one a number, you can do this by putting the number in front of the task name and sorting alphabetically. 000001 Buy Milk 000002 Finish project etc |

Maybe just numbers from 1 to 20 for those selected for the day. The rest of the tasks can follow TDs inherent logic of prioritization. I appreciate that it might be easier to request than to program as it could be an exception to TDs inherent logic. As a work-around I sometimes apply a starting time without a date and sort them by that, but that takes many steps. It is OK for setting a daily routine, but not for simple tasks. |

Thanks for the feedback. Currently, there is no way to manually sort tasks. You can manually sort subtasks, or you can use the numbering trick that I mentioned above as a work around.
Manually reordering tasks is something that is on our todo list, but isn't a simple thing to implement. |

And, though I've requested this before and I don't believe it's being considered, my need for a number field is NOT about sorting.

I totally agree that we need a value sorting field. If other app provide this function, I will drop my yearly support to Toodledo

I really also need manual sorting by drag and drop for normal tasks. Please.
You can make it change the attributes that have been chosen for a sorting. For example: If due time has been chosen: dragging a 6 pm task above a 5 pm task and under a 3 pm task, automatically makes it a 4 pm task. You can let us have that as an option to choose. As a second option you can let us have manual sorting without TD saving the result for a future use. This message was edited Apr 11, 2015. |

I would love to have custom priorities (or at least more levels) because I use Toodledo together with PlanMyDay. And this app does sorting by priority or manually only.
