To-Do GraphAPI to include OrderDateTime field - custom ordering of To do tasks through GraphAPI
I'm developing a company dashboard, wish MS To-Do is part of as a widget, and there is no value if I can't sync task order between tools such as MS To-Do, Outlook, or To-Do mobile applications.
As seen on Outlook Task REST API documentation, I could do that, but that will be deprecated later this year (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/office-365-api/api/version-2.0/task-rest-operations). Both outlook web and MS To-Do online seem to be using that API.
So the order can be fetched and patched through the field "OrderDateTime".
The main idea is to add this missing important field for our apps, into GraphAPI for both listing (GET) and updating (PATCH), which currently is not working.

I have written a short blog post which outlines steps to use the Outlook API for this. Currently, this is the only way to access this data, therefore it might be interesting for some, as a temporary workaround: https://overexact.com/microsoft-to-do/
As another example, if I have a grocery list, I can unleash an app on it that will order the items by their arrangement in the store I'm going to, so that I can take one trip through the aisles.
