Improve Task Sorting Behavior – Delay & Highlight When Moving
Phil Smith
When a task list is sorted, creating a new task and updating its fields can be frustrating because the task immediately moves based on the sorting rules, making it difficult to track.
I propose two improvements to enhance usability:
1.Temporary Delay Before Sorting: Introduce a short buffer (e.g., a few seconds) before the task moves, allowing users time to input multiple fields without losing track of the task.
- Enhanced Visibility After Moving: When the task does get sorted, implement an auto-scroll to its new position and/or apply a temporary subtle flashing highlight to make it easy to locate.
This would improve workflow efficiency and prevent users from having to search for their task every time they update a field that affects sorting.
