Thanks for the great job on the Title Ordinal Override! Since you're looking for another name; how about
- manual sorting feature or
- parent & child creation or
- subtask creation

keep up the support of this great addon!
I'll make sure to donate :)

best Lois

Hi Joe,

thanks for your reply on my suggestion. I look forward to that feature very much, and am happy to read that it would be a reasonably easy thing to add. I use ordering by calendar, but you're right that only gives a rough overview, where I need to work with a work breakdown structure. I hope you can add it the easy way soon :) And if you develop more slick way of doing it (I say vertical drag and drop!) later, awesome!

best, Lois

Nice work. But lacks one crucial feature i.m.o.. Please add possibility to order items vertically. For instance : i add a number 2 in front of the title of an existing event and the event jumps to it's new position, under event with title beginning with number 1 etc. Google calendar supports that too. So that would be a nice way to order the items, which works cross platform. Mobile too. Vertical ordering is crucial, for effective long term projectmanagement I need to create subtasks. I'm sure a lot of project managers would like this feature.

Interesting suggestion. I'll look into supporting this "override" ordering, it should be relatively easy to implement.

Parent tasks/subtasks functionality is on my wish list. I'm currently working on another extension that uses an SQLite database to store custom event/task information. I will use a similar approach for this functionality, as well as for task/event dependencies. But it could be a while before this happens.

You could use multiple calendars and the "group by calendar" feature to roughly approximate subtasks - but this would only give one level of parent (calendar) and children (events/tasks).
