Elements in a task list should be moved when they are checked.

The problem:

It has become really annoying when checked elements mix in with unchecked elements in a task list.

The solution:

Let's say we have a list:

• Task 4
• Task 3
• Task 2
• Task 1

Now if, for example, Task 4 is checked it should be automatically moved above Task 2 but bellow Task 3, like this:

• Task 3
• Task 4
• Task 2
• Task 1

The opposite should also be true. When An element is unchecked it should be moved up. For example if Task 1 is unchecked it should appear bellow Task 3 but above Task 4, like this:

• Task 3
• Task 1
• Task 4
• Task 2

Basically, that I proposed is automatic sorting of checked and unchecked elements in a list.
This way checked elements stay out of the way and do not clutter the list.

I disagree for the reasons i also wrote for the Android Notes app.

I agree with @stefan-niedermann. We should not try to interpret the order of list items. Some people will like an auto-sorting feature, but there are definitely people who will hate such a feature, because they want to keep the manual order.

All of the above notwithstanding, the concept of checkboxes that move out of the list of incomplete items is still valid IMO. There is a reason why Google Keep implemented them this way. It's extremely useful.

So maybe some new kind of checkbox is needed, or some kind of indication on a checkbox list is needed to say that the user desires that they be re-ordered to the bottom of the list when checked, might be useful.
