Sorting
pydo lets you sort the contents of any report with the sort: task filter. By
default, the reports are sorted increasingly by the task id.
$: pydo open
╷ ╷
ID │ Description │ Pri
╺━━━━┿━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┿━━━━━╸
0 │ First task with medium priority │ 3
1 │ Second task with medium priority │ 3
2 │ Third task with low priority │ 1
╵ ╵
If you want to sort the tasks increasingly by priority instead, you could use:
$: pydo open sort:+priority
╷ ╷
ID │ Description │ Pri
╺━━━━┿━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┿━━━━━╸
2 │ Third task with low priority │ 1
0 │ First task with medium priority │ 3
1 │ Second task with medium priority │ 3
╵ ╵
To sort by more than one criteria, separate them by commas. For example, if you want to sort increasingly by priority and then decreasingly by id, use:
$: pydo open sort:+priority,-id_
╷ ╷
ID │ Description │ Pri
╺━━━━┿━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┿━━━━━╸
2 │ Third task with low priority │ 1
1 │ Second task with medium priority │ 3
0 │ First task with medium priority │ 3
╵ ╵
To sort by ID you need to use id_ instead of id.
