Sorting by column on action screen works only on description column, but others like priority, context etc. doesn't. Little triangle shows up in the header showing the direction of sorting but actions stay in place and mixed up.

If you need more info let me know.

You must double click a column in order to change the sorting to just that column. Every subsequent column header click just adds another level of sorting.

Also if you look hard you can see one of the sorting arrows is a little bit bigger than the other(s). That's the "main sort".

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks!

No problem, it confused me for a bit too

Confused me, too, but I like that feature, it opens the possibility for more sophisticated and helpful sorting.

It would help, though, if the sort icons (the arrows) had numbers corresponding to the order in which they are set. The way it is currently, with the difference in size, you can only distinguish the main sort column from "the others".

A button like "reset sorting" would also be more intuitive (though slower for long term users) than the double click feature. I know, I know, not a fun feature to implement.

Also thank you for making the time sorting sensitive to the order of the time values during setup.

This confused me too. I did not notice the arrows where of different size. Now it is very easy to use, but until I found this thread I was sure TR was buggy.

I strongly support the suggestion of a "Reset sorting" button. If that would be too much work, I suggest to make the main arrow not just bigger, but black (to make it easier for new users to realise there is one "main" sorting arrow and several "secondary" arrows).

Thanks for the good work, TR people!
