Task Sorting

When a project accumulates many tasks, you can sort them to quickly find what you need and keep the list organized.

By default, projects use manual sorting — you can drag and drop tasks to arrange them in any order you like. However, if there are many tasks, it’s faster to use one of the automatic sorting options.

How to Sort Tasks

To change the order of tasks in a project, open the sorting menu.

Click the sorting icon in the upper-right corner above the task list — a menu with available sorting options will appear.

Open the desired project.
Tap the three-dot icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
In the menu that appears, select "Sort" — a list of available sorting options will open.

Sorting Options

In SingularityApp, several types of task sorting are available. Choose the one that best fits your goal.

Smart Sorting

This hybrid method takes multiple parameters into account — dates, priorities, and deadlines. Tasks are arranged in the following order:
1. High-priority tasks without a date are sorted by deadline.
2. Tasks planned for today are sorted first by priority, then by time.
3. High-priority tasks with a date are shown in chronological order; tasks on the same day are sorted by deadline.
4. Medium-priority tasks with dates are displayed chronologically; tasks on the same day are sorted by deadline.
5. Low-priority tasks with dates are sorted by date, with deadlines used to order tasks on the same day.
6. Tasks without priority or date are sorted by deadline.
7. Low-priority tasks without a date are ranked by deadline.
8. «Someday» tasks are sorted by priority, and within the same priority — by deadline.
By Time

Tasks are sorted by their scheduled date or the absence of one.
1. By time: tasks without a date come first, then today’s tasks, followed by the rest in chronological order.
2. Reverse time: tasks without a date come first, followed by those with the latest dates, and finally the earliest ones.
By Priority

Tasks are grouped by their priority flags.
1. By priority: high-priority tasks on top, then medium, and low at the bottom.
2. Reverse priority: low-priority tasks on top, then medium, and high at the bottom.
By Deadline

Tasks with deadlines appear first, sorted by deadline date. Tasks without deadlines are listed below and sorted by date and time. Priorities are not considered.
1. By deadline: tasks with the nearest deadlines come first, followed by those without deadlines in ascending date order.
2. Reverse deadline: tasks with the latest deadlines come first, followed by those without deadlines in ascending date order.
Alphabetically

Tasks are sorted by their titles.
1. Alphabetically: from A to Z.
2. Reverse alphabetically: from Z to A.
Custom

Tasks appear in the order set manually by the user. The direction does not change.
