| Summary | 0000343: tasks order (task list and Gantt) | ||||
| Description | I belive there is some room for improvement in the task order as they (tasks) are displayed when looked at Gantt chart or simply project list. (I use ProjectDesigner and revision 874 (of 2009-12-21)) Apparently now tasks are sorted just using their start date as a key. However for few tasks with same start date they're listed differently in Gantt and different on list (different order) that is especially easy to notice when one of tasks is a milestone. Suggestion (quick one) for tasks with same start date sort them using the end date (particular good outcome of that will be that milestones will be on the top of list of thaks which depends on them). Suggestion (more sophisticated) have smarter algorithm, let me call it "thread based". Let's say task dependencies and durations (in days) in project are: A(1d) -> B(2d) -> C(3d) -> D(1d) A(1d) -> E(3d) -> F(1d) -> G(1d) Algorithm (probably recursive one) would look at tasks depending on A, finds two (B and E), it takes one of them first (e.g. B) and places C and D following directly B, then returns to the E thread. This "more sophisticated" still has some disadvantages and although it may be possible to improve it slightly it will not be possible to satisfy all scenarios, so finally the third option is to allow user to define order he/she wants projects be displayed. For the sake of clarity let me open separate feature request for the third option, so this ticket can be just closed when quicker/easier way is implemented (hopefully :) | ||||
