When adding a new subtask to a parent task, the new subtask appears at
the top of the subtasks, instead of at the bottom. To me, the expected
behavior is that it would appear at the bottom.

This follows that if I am adding a list of items to be done, I would
be adding them in order and they should appear in that order from top-
to-bottom.

Can anyone else see a reason for doing it the way it is? With new
subtask items appearing at the top?

I agree with you on this, or they should sort by date and time due.

+1 I think you're right. On the other hand, if I'm compiling a list of
tasks I would do it via the last sibling task using Insert rather than
via the parent with Alt+Insert.

+1! I also have to move new subtask down to the bottom of the list of
subtasks each time.

Along with your feature request, I would like to promote a related one
that lets you choose the order that the tasks are completed - top to
bottom, bottom to top, assigned date and time, etc.

If this is implemented, I hope it is implemented as an option. I work
differently from you guys. When I'm planning, sometimes I would miss
some subtasks that should appear in front, in the middle or in the end
of the list. I would add the missed subtask at the proper insertion
point like the way MLO is working now. I wouldn't want it to always
go to the bottom especially if I have a long list of subtask only to
move the inserted subtask way to the top.

This is one of my problems with RightNote but it is entirely different
topic so I'll stop here.

The attribute "complete subtasks in order" makes it essential to add new task to the bottom.

What would be a project like this?
1 give the printed report to my boss
2 print the report
3 write a report on yesterday's meeting
4 attend the meeting

PLEASE add a way to enter new tasks (from shortcut or from drag/drop) to the BOTTOM of the lists.

Agreed, this annoys me too, a lot. It's just not intuitive to add to the top of a list.

I thought there was a strangeness in MLO desktop. (maybe android, haven't checked), where adding when the task is closed (Alt-Ins) adds to the bottom, but I'm not seeing it in whatever beta I'm running -- am I misremembering?

I’m not sure of the details but I know that my inbox has the oldest stuff in the middle with some new items at the top and some at the bottom. I agree that the correct process is always to add to the bottom.
