Slicing and Dicing

Slicing and Dicing

The sorting power of Checkvist is quite handy.  Is there any good way to sort by Tags?  

I can assign every item with a particular tag to have a particular priority, then sort by priority... but of course, the number of tags can very easily exceed the number of priorities available.  

It's possible to filter by tag, select all items of the filtered list, move them to a temporary list (named HOLD, for example), then move them all back to the top of the original list.

If moving to another list included the originating list, this would be quite an easy way to sort by Tag.

Anyone have a better way?

    Hello Jim,

      To move items with specific tag within a given list you can filter, as you do, and then cut the selected filtered items (Ctrl+X or Cmd+X on Mac). I suppose, you use multiple selection to select needed items.

     After that you can reset filter (rf), remove current selection (ESC) and press Ctrl+V to paste the items at the beginning of the list.

      If you don't remove the current selection, items will be pasted below the currently selected item.

     May be this is a bit faster than using an intermediate list?

     Also, you can perform a global search for a tag within all lists, not sure if this would help in your case.

      Best,

    Kirill Maximov, that works pretty well!
    Yes, it's faster, and quite easy.  Thanks.  The reset filter command appears to be the magic I needed.  Checkvist is chock full of magic...

    Glad to help :) 
    More magic is available under '?' keyboard shortcut.

Hello friends

Hello friends, Recently we've got a request to introduce a shortcut to move items to the first/last position on the current level of hierarchy: https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/15758854-shortcut-to-send-an-item-at-the-top-of-the-current And this bring me to a thought to use the current shortcut (Ctrl+Home/Ctrl+End) for this purpose. But with an extension - if an item is already on the top position on the current hierarchy level, Ctrl+Home would move item one level up (and put it at the beginning of this level). This will break the current behaviour (moving item to the beginning of the list), but probably will make this shortcut more useful. What do you think? https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/15758854-shortcut-to-send-an-item-at-the-top-of-the-current

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.  What I feel is missing is more use cases.  How are people using Checkvist?  What are some recommend workflows?  How many lists do you have? User Stories will not only help those of use already using Checkvist to be more effective, but attract more non-technical customers. I like to keep my lists at a minimum.  I only split out for sharing but I'd prefer not to. Here are my lists: * Inbox:  This is where zapier based integrations go.  I have Jira tickets and emails tagged with "!action" going to list which I process daily. * The List:  This is my primary list.  Everything is here.  I use sub-nodes for different areas. * Honey Do:  This is the list my wife and I share to make sure we know what we both want done around the house. * "Client Project" - I have a few Lists I share with clients (Free lance web developer). I"m looking to write a more detailed blog post. How are your l
