dooit 💡 [FEAT] Go back to user sorted order

Currently when I sort the tasks using urgency or due. There no way to go back to the sorting I did with J and K keys. I think there should be an option to get back to that order of tasks.

Hmm... You mean the order which you see when you open the app right? Or maybe add an option to sort by Recently Added?

In a todo list I usually sort todos manually for many different reasons. One might be the order that I want to work on. That logic can't be captured by auto sorting mechanisms like due, priority etc because these tasks might have the same due but the urgency will be mixed. Like.

task 1 - C - today task 2 - B - today task 3 - C - today task 4 - A - tomorrow

When I usually sort by due or urgency, I want to have a quick look and go back to the order that I sorted in which is currently not possible. So having an user-defined order in the sorting menu would be great. Something like Sort by: My ordering

Hmmm... maybe this can go into the previously discussed COMMAND mode ?

I think this can be part of the sort menu in Ctrl+S. Here we can just add a new option called Handpicked

Hm, not sure. How would the user interaction be? A step-by-step explanation would be great :smile:
