<div class="box-tip">You can also create your own sorting for your task lists by using Todoist's <a href="https://get.todoist.help/hc/en-us/articles/360017135159">sorting options</a>.</div>
<p>When you’re looking at a view in Todoist like Today or a filter, you may wonder how the tasks are ordered. Here’s a quick overview of how tasks are sorted in each view:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>View</th>
<th>Sorting</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><strong>Today and Upcoming</strong></td>
<td>
<p>Due time &gt; priority &gt; task creation date and time &gt; project ID &gt; task ID</p>
<p>In these views, tasks can be rearranged if they have the same priority and due time.</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Label</strong></td>
<td><em>Priority &gt; due time and date &gt; project order &gt; task order within their project</em></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Filter</strong></td>
<td>
<p>When using a filter without due date queries <em>Priority &gt; due time and date &gt; project order &gt; task order within their project</em></p>
<p>When using a filter with due date queries <em>Due time &gt; priority &gt; task creation date and time &gt; project ID &gt; task ID</em></p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Project</strong></td>
<td>By default, tasks are shown in the order in which they were added. Tasks are sorted within each <a href="https://get.todoist.help/hc/en-us/articles/360003788739">section</a>, rather than across sections. You can change the order by <a href="https://todoist.com/help/articles/360017135159" target="_self" rel="undefined">sorting a project</a> or by manually dragging and dropping your tasks.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<div class="box-note">When you enable sorting or grouping in your view, the tasks will be sorted by your selected criteria in <em>ascending</em> order by default, except sorting your tasks by Priority. In this case, the order will be <em>descending</em>, from P1 to P4. Reversing the order will only affect the primary sorting criteria, all secondary criteria will be sorted by default.</div>
