Synchronizing manually sorted views, creating calendar entries.

[The Alsatian]

As a MLO user across multiple platforms, I have two complaints that I would like to see the MLO software developers address in the next release/update.

1.  There should be a way to synchronize user-created Views across platforms through Cloud Sync. Each day I put my tasks in a verticle heirarchy based on when during the day I plan to work on that task.  I usually do this on my desktop computer, while answering emails and scheduling appointments.  It would be great if I could create this sorting of tasks on my desktop PC while I am doing this other day planning, and see these Tasks in that same custom order later in the day on my iPad or iPhone while I am on the move.  Even it MLO could add this functionality to just one view, say the Due in Next 7 Days View, it would be a big help to me as I churn through each day's tasks.

2.  Can we please get a Today View that allows for direct user entry of appointments that would then be available across all Platforms and synchronizes across all platforms?  The current workaround is worthless.  I don't think trying to get a clunky calendar like Google's to export tasks into the MLO Today View and then only to the iPad/Android versions of MLO that currently support Today View , is even close to an adequate response to my request. 

I don't use Google Calendar.  I use Outlook. Not supported for Today View Event import function. Really, I spend much more time in my MLO app every day than I ever do in my calendar app in Outlook.  It would be so much easier for me to simply enter appointments directly into my MLO as I make them,  rather than going to another application and having to import them from that app.  This seems like such an obviously beneficial enhancement for heavy users of MLO like me.  Please consider adding this functionality ot the next major release of MLO.

If you agree with me, join me in petitioning MLO's design team to add these user-friendly features to MLO.

Hi, Alsatian. The proces of ordering tasks by manually dragging and dropping them, iscalled "manual sort." The other way to acomplist thiswould be by sortingv on somefield, like start time or importance, and thenmanually assigning values to each task to make them come outin gthe order you like. I use "importance" - you can click on the importance slider and drag it left/right with the mouse or gthe arrow keys and watch the task rise and drop in youjr list. It's about the same effort as dragging the tasks like you are doing, and it synchs beautifully. The solution you suggested, synching tghe manual sort orderf for one view, has been implemented already for the "starred" view. Set the star on everythjing you want to do today and clear the star from everythiong else, switch to the starred view, and drag your tasks to the order you want, you will find it synched.

Great points Jim, totally agree about syncronising views across platforms and even more so syncing with Outlook Calendar, or ability to sync with a calendar using CalDavSync would also be good.

I would love to see these features in MLO.
