Sorry if this has been asked before, I tried searching and didn't find anything.

Is there a way to sort the task list alphabetically on the TX? I use my task listed extensively in Outlook, but it is really only usable in an A-Z type display.

Am I missing something simple?

Thanks.

I believe the only way to sort tasks is by Due Date/Priority/Category. I don't believe alphabetical is an option, although there are probable third party options.

oops. AS i said, I hoped that was right. It obviously didn't work out that way :) Like he said 3rd party, ftw

Thanks for the repsonses. Are there any third party apps that will sync with my Outlook tasks so I don't have to keep multiple lists?

Thanks again.

I can remember that a tool crossed my way once which allowed for this sorting option, but I canīt remember itīs name - CanDo ? ToDoNow ? Maybe one of those todo-replacements listed on palmgear will help you out.

But then again, you might be better off by using some other tool like handyshopper (which doesnīt sync with outlook) or think about your setup. Because what you are saying isnīt really the sense of a ToDo-type application. ToDoīs normally are defined by either priority or due date or both, not by their name. To have them sort by name and not their properties looks like youīre having sort of like a "things-to-remember" list which might be better off in a specialized application, like a list-keeping software (handyshopper) or an outliner (bonsai, shadowplan, whatever).

Even if you have really lots of todos the "ToDo" application offers the option of showing only those tasks due today and/or tommorrow (or within this week or whatever) which might already be enough to see only so many entries as you wish.
