Tasks

[mnvwvnm]

With the new feature for tasks "Task Link" (solved the link to the origin of the task), adding the feature to not group tasks by file/source it would be helpful.
In that scenario it would be possible to sort and group tasks by others conditions. Or just a clean sorted list of tasks, ungrouped.

It is possible to group by things other than the file using GROUP BY <value>, though the only way to group by nothing is to group on a constant, like: GROUP BY "Tasks".

Thank you for clarification.
In fact, I was not quite understanding how GROUP BY <value> was working in tasks queries. Now it's more clear.
However, my main focus is how to not group at all. I'm thinking in something similar to Tasks plugin: without groups, allowing sorting the results of the query in any way (by text, values, due dates, etc.).

Out of curiosity (I am not at a computer), can you roughly achieve what you're looking for with a

TASK FROM ...
SORT <field>
GROUP BY "Tasks"

Sorry but I'm not sure if I understand what you means with a constant GROUP BY "Tasks".
Using GROUP BY "Tasks" results in a "parsing failed":

TASK FROM "Test"
SORT due
GROUP BY "Tasks"

But if I use GROUP BY Tasks (without quotes, as an inexistent field), it seems to work!

[blacksmithgu]

Hmm, maybe it should be GROUP BY "Tasks" as t? Regardless, hopefully that tides you over until I add first class support.

Yes, it works with GROUP BY "Tasks" AS <something>: only one group with the title "Tasks".
But no worry, no hurry. "No group" it's just an idea to enhance the tasks features.
Once again, thanks.
