After experiencing the same frustrations mentioned here (what have they done to one of my favourite apps, Wunderlist?), I came up with a simple solution. Ignore ToDo's ready-made lists at the top of the sidebar and create your own using +New List - even with the same names if you wish - in the lower half of the sidebar. You can then organize items to your heart's content. I still think the fact you can't custom-organize lists as a standard feature sucks.
- Lee_LauridsenApr 22, 2022Copper ContributorMichael_Ion Thanks for that very helpful tip - it works! I also just discovered that one can still mark something as Important and then right-click the task and move it to a different folder that I've created - e.g., Work Tasks - and the task is moveable in that folder Or I can create a task in the list I've created and then mark it important. In either case, the task shows up both in the Important folder and the folder I've created and I can rearrange it along with all other tasks in my created folder.
- robertl30EPAApr 03, 2021Copper ContributorGreat find Michael. I just tested that and it definitely works. What madness is this? We can manually sort custom lists, but not the built in one ("Planned"). Why Microsoft? Just why?
BTW, of course these tasks show up in the thick Outlook client and are perfectly sortable there. So, why it's broken in the web version I've no idea.
