sort by date

[manfred69]

Hello,

I have bought:

1. Version 2.2 (Google Play Store)
2. Version 2.2.1 (Amazon)

In the description of the app I read: ' Sort tasks by date asc or desc'.

But both cannot sort by date. There is no item in the menue. But this function is very important for me. What can I do?

[CalumJEadie]

For me, when I added a task of the form

due:yyyy-mm-dd

The sort by date ascending or descending options appeared within the sort menu.

In Settings, check "Date new tasks." Then when you create new tasks they will have a date, and you can sort by that date.

Whatever I do It won’t work! I have a german version, and my options to sort are:

•      Gewichtung
  

•      ID aufsteigend
  

•      ID absteigend
  

•      Text (A-Z)

Can reproduce. Set system language to Deutsch and Date options don't show up in sort menu. Weird.

Edit: Same with French. Set language back to English and the date options show up again.

Well, I thought it just wouldn't work on gingerbread. Now that I've
switched from EN to DE I can confirm it's missing for DE only.

Slightly confused already:
"Switched from DE to EN"
to be correct :-P

The sort options are defined in a resource file in values/arrays.xml. @ginatrapani, are the localized versions of these files generated, and do they be re-generated now?

[chuckbjones]

It appears that missing translations in string-arrays don't fall back to the default value. The best solution would be to use references to string resources as array values, and allow those resources to be translated: http://stackoverflow.com/a/16226051/935757

[ginatrapani]

Apologies for not getting back sooner. I did assume that strings without translations would fall back to the en-US version, but apparently not. I'll pull and test #457, update translate.todotxt.com, and issue the fix this week.

@ginatrapani Side note, where did translate.todotxt.com point to? As of Oct 9, 2017, it redirects to todotxt.org. The .COM to .ORG change was made when we brought the project into an organization.

What was running on translate.todotxt.com?

[karbassi]

Seems like it redirected to https://crowdin.com/project/todotxt-touch-android. Can you fix the redirect?

[ginatrapani]

yep, just created and assigned myself that ticket.
