Any easy way to change sort orders in Android app?

[John Smith]

Hi
Is there any easy way to drag tasks up and down the screen in Outline mode in MLO s Android app?
(if so I can't find it!)

Background I now use sort orders A LOT to establish relative priorities between similar tasks. And an easy quick way of dragging and dropping tasks on the screen is crucial and very nearly a deal-breaker for me.

In fact has this Android app been improved at all in the last few months?
I don't use if much (for the above reason) but it looks pretty much unchanged to me...

Thanx

Hi, John. There's a function called "move mode." I forget how to turn it on (I don't have a copy of v1 any more.) But I'm pretty that there is a menu item somewhere.

When you turn on move mode, the star icon at the end of each line is replaced with a three-line move handle icon. If you grab (tap and hold) a move handle you can drag the item up or down and drop in into or between other items or hover over a collapsed item to expand it.

On my device (Samsung Galaxy Note 2) just before my finger touches the right edge of the the MLO screen a scrollbar jumps out and my attemot ti touch the move handle register as an attempt to touch the scrollbar, causing the display to jump to a faraway part of the outline. Very annoying. Different people have different approaches to touching the move handle and not the scrollbar. Most involve (depending on the device) touching just to the left or just to the right of the move handle. I use the Note 2's stylus to touch just to the left of the icon.

Thanks Dwight but - I give up! - where can I find "Move Mode"?
I am using Android version 1.6.10 (Pro) - is that still the latest version?

From the menu (three dots), top right corner of the screen
Move is an option in Outline, Starred, Active Starred views only

Top of screen from left to right is

a tick "MyLifeOrganized[Pro]" then a big "+" sign then a Cloud icon.
Where are these three dots?

Hi, Andrei. When I look at that screenshot,  the three dots are in dark green on a green background that's only slightly less dark. At first I didn't see them. Is that how it looks on your phone?

Nope I still cant see them. Here is a screenshot. Android v5.0, and like I say: MLO v1.6.10(Pro)

[Dwight]

You are on the cover page.  Open the outline view and then tell us what's in the upper right hand corner

John, are you the member of beta group?

My screens are from 1.7 beta.

Seems to be strange.

I see the 3 dots in the main menu.

By the way,

Hi 

I think it's now clear that my version of the app is not the same as everyone else's here.

Yes I think I am a member of MLO-beta from way back, although I don't have time to experiment much. If version 1.7 Beta is pretty stable I guess I'll try that now (if that is I can work out where to get it from!)

Strange. I have the same set up as you with no problems. May be a corrupted installation. Try re-installing.

[John Smith]

Hi

OK I have now completely re-installed MLO Android. And after some pain I have managed to get the "Pro" version to sync.

But still no three vertical dots at the top right of any screen. 

Sorry for slow response but I am on a working holiday. This is starting to be quite irritating ! [grrr]

[John Smith]

PS To recap I am running "Version 1.6.10 (Pro)"

Do I need the Beta version?

(If so anyone know how I download it? I am on the road so this is slightly difficult...)

OK sorry I've now remembered that I need to install Crashlytics. Which is where I got stuck last time.
Apologies. I shall attempt to continue this in the MLO-beta group...
