(Hoping that this isn't a repost.  I searched for similar titles/content but didn't see anything helpful.  All are advanced topics; this is basic)

Hi all, until a few minutes ago, the MLO tree of tasks (in the view All tasks) was ordered according to how I'd created/dragged tasks and subtasks.
Somehow I managed to cause the top level of tasks to be alphabetically ordered/sorted and a Ctl-Z isn't undoing it.

Can someone give me a quick top on how to undo this and go back to the ordering that I created?

Thanks!
Cameron

Hi Cameron,

As I recall, you can select tasks and right-click to sort, it has a pop-up, and then does what you picked. You *might* be able to reverse it by looking at those choices.

Otherwise, I don't believe the sort selection is saved as a permanent; it is a one-time sort. If you cannot "undo", then reorder your tasks with drag/drop back to how you want it.

Thanks Lindsay!  I'll give that a shot.

I guess you accidentally clicked on the "View: All tasks" header in the task list and that changed sorting to alphabetically ordered by a task name. To go back to the ordering you created change sorting to "none" in the settings: Bring up the Filter pane on the left-> Group&Sort->Sort->Sort tasks by: None
Or, if you want to reset all the view settings, then click "Discard changes" below.

That worked.  Thanks so much, Alyona.
