Is it possible to sort manually by sort, then fine-tune manually (or using hotkeys on Importance)?

[John . Smith]

Hello

I want to sort my tasks firstly by Importance value (Max, A Lot, More etc), but within that, I then want to change the order manually. Is this possible? 

i.e. Is it possible to do initial a rough sort using the Importance field, and then between tasks of identical importance, to then change the order manually?

e.g. If I want to change the order between my task which all have an Importance value of "A Lot", I might simply use Shift+Alt+UpArrow and/or Shift+Alt+DownArrow to change the order of "A Lot" tasks.

Failing that, is there some hotkey or mouse wheel to increment/decrement the exact Importance value by +1 or -1 ?

Cheers

PS Fwiw, I am still using MLO Windows version 4.4.8 (and having a v busy period at the moment, so now would NOT be a good time to upgrade to v5) but does v5 have any improvement in this regard?

OK, to partially answer my own question...

If I sort the view by Importance, I can then:  
A) Right-click over the Importance column to get the task to the nearest 25 units of Importance,   then 
B) Use Alt+C (to give Contexts field focus), then hit Tab once (to give the Importance slider focus). I can then use up/down arrow keys to increment/decrement the value of Importance by 1 unit.

It's a bit fiddly but it allows me to fine-tune sort order within "Importance" to the nearest 25 as set up by using the dropdown.  

Not as good as proper full manual sort, within Importance, but better than nothing.

Thanks this will help me. I hope to someday remember some of the key shortcuts when I need them.

Personally, I used hotkeys A LOT, as they are about x10 faster than using a mouse.

This page that I create may help you.

Feel free to edit if any errors. Not yet updated for MLO Windows V5 (are there any changes ??)

I recommend printing it out and highlighting any hotkeys that you are planning to learn with a blob using a bright highlighter pen, and then keeping the printout visible from your desk/work surface.

Once you have both learned and got into the habit of using said hotkey, you can then go over it and darken it with a slightly darker highlighter pen. 

==> Works for me  :^)
