Bug: Computed scores are always zero.

[nschm873]

Not sure why but the computed scores for my todo ordering are always
zero. And it does not matter what the options are set too it always
computes to zero.

In tools -> options, To-Do ordering options.

I have set either radio button,

on computed score priority, I have reset to default and modified due
dates, start dates and goals. On prioritization, I have tried all
three settings.

After changing these settings, I have tried jumping between outline
and todo, exiting and restarting MLO and rebooting my PC. My
computed scores are always zero.

The order of my tasks seem to always be based on importance/urgency
followed by due dates. But the due dates are always in reverse
order. Something due later will be in the list before something due
today and things due today will be in the list before things due
yesterday. Minimally that needs to be reversed as things past due
have more urgency then things NOT due yet.

Not sure what else to try. There only seems to be two data files
used. The .ml outline file that I have in my dropbox area and
the .mlthm theme file I have local to my PC. Is there another file
that I am missing?

Hi,

Please make sure you set Computed-Score in sorting for the To-Do list
in the view you are using:
To-Do->Filter->Groups&Sort->Sort...Sort Tasks by

Save the view after the change by pressing Save Settings... on filter
panel.

Compute score coefficients are only calculated when they are used in
the sort for the todo and not calculated if to-do sorted using other
option like Caption or Effort

Thank you so much for the reply.

Now that I have the scores I see the problem that I was having with
"how the tasks were ranking." Also pointing me to the "sort" feature
also gave me the answer.

By sorting on "due date" first and then "compute scores" I get the
tasks in the order that I desire.

Nice feature and I will add it to the "what I like about MLO
thread"...

Thanks again for the help.
