Hi, I would love the option to sort the HTML version by due date (or maybe alphabetically) in addition to the default order. Thank you!

Hello David,

I am investigating how feasible this is, and will consider adding the functionality.

I've created an issue for this feature request at

Hello David,

It is now possible to sort displayed tasks by either due date or alphabetically (in addition to the default order).

The sort options are in the bottom right hand side of the "Display all tasks as a single web page" panel (which is displayed once all the tasks have been retrieved from the Google Tasks server).

Note that when sorting by any order other than the default order, subtasks are no longer indented, as the relationship between parent and child tasks no longer holds when sorted by a different order.

Please feel free to provide any feedback.

Kind regards,

Julie Smith

Julie, thanks for allowing sort by date. Would it be possible to sort by reverse-date (reverse chronological) order? thanks

Hi Adrian,

Just one quick question; if sorting by reverse chronological order, where should tasks with no due date be displayed?
  1. Before tasks with a due date, OR
  2. After tasks with a due date
At the moment, tasks with no due date are displayed after all tasks with a due date.

Kind regards,

When displaying all tasks as a single web page, tasks my now be sorted;
  • By default order
  • By due date (earliest first)
  • By due date (latest first)
  • Alphabetically
When sorting by due date, tasks with no due date will be displayed after tasks that have a due date.

Kind regards,
