Implement manual sorting

[raimund-schluessler]

This PR implements manual sorting of tasks.
In order to manually sort a task list, select Manually in the sort-order dropdown and drag the tasks to the position you want them at. The sort-order syncs to Reminders on iOS (and probably MacOS, but I can not test this).

Please test this feature with this build of the Tasks app containing manual sorting:
tasks.tar.gz

Closes #28.

Is this for calendars? One change that lowers my UX after the port to Vue (great otherwise) is that my main calendar is now at the bottom. It would be nice to be able to drag it to the top on the left sidebar so that we can have our main task-calendar at the top, readily accessible when we open the app.

Thanks!

No, this will be for tasks. For sorting calendars, there is a separate issue already #15. Calendars are now sorted alphabetically to have a consistent order. So as a workaround to have your default calendar at the top you could adjust its name accordingly.

Hi,
thanks for the work. I would like to know what is the current state of this. Is there something missing to get basic manual sorting in tasks?
Thanks!

Only time to implement it is missing 😉 And there are a lot of features which are more in demand than manual sorting.

What order will you be doing the sorting in?

As I understand it, for outstanding tasks it was: due>priority>start>alphabetically

For those who might read along and not understand, it means if two tasks are due the same day, the priority will be used to order them. If due date and priority are the same, then start will show the order, etc.

With the manual sort, will it override priority and due dates? I'm thinking there will be some usability conflict and I'm curious as to your solution.

There will be a new sort-order option "manual" in the dropdown menu. Only when this is selected, the manual sort order will be considered.

I second the manual sorting order.

And thank you for your work.
