RE: Sorting ToDo items?

["Derek R. Pizzagoni" <drp@xxxxxxxx>]

Sorting the items on the desktop is easy.  Sorting them on the desktop, and
then transferring that sort to the pilot does require rewriting the todo
database on the pilot.

Right now, the pilot can sort by 'Priority, Due Date', 'Due Date, Priority',
'Category, Priority', and 'Category, Due Date'.  I believe that no matter
how you sort on the desktop, whatever sorting you have selected on the pilot
will override the data.  The only sorting you may see is if you happen to
have items in alphabetical order or items with the same values for the
current sort selected (within existing pilot sorts).

Neither ToDoClient or SyncToDo can do anything about what the pilot does
internally.
