Manually sorting To-Do tasks and turning off sort order
I was struggling with this too.
Rob Weiss posted the solution to this in a UserVoice related to manually sorting To-Do tasks.
"You can turn off Sort by clicking the x in the sort header bar at the top of the list. then you can sort manually"
This worked perfectly! I wondered why I had to sort some lists and some not. I look forward to more from ToDo from Microsoft as far as integration of ToDo and Outlook and checkable calendar to do items syncing with ToDo.
- Mind. Blown. I've recently converted a custom Access database task list to To Do and am loving it, but I've been looking for a way to do manual sorting (particularly for my 'My Day' view) for months. Thank you and thank Rob Weiss!

Thank you for the "X" Trick - this is more like a "easter egg" than a feature 😉I tried this and it doesn't seem to work that way for me. When the X in the sort header bar is clicked, the only thing that happens is the Sort By bar is hidden. I was unable to manually sort.
Perhaps I missed something or don't understand your solution. Can you elaborate?
banthonywhite I feel your frustration - If I can't manually sort, this product is useless..
After deleting the X associated with the sorting choice in the header, I closed out of To Do and then restarted the app. Then the manual sorting was available.
JavaBeans Thanks, closing and then re-opening it (on my PC computer) worked. It's a double Easter egg! Thanks!
