tasks done date not picked if done date in not at the end.

Please check that this issue hasn't been reported before.

• I searched previous Bug Reports didn't find any similar reports.

Expected Behavior

Following tasks is not picked by tasks

- [x] Task 1 ✅ 2023-03-02 [link](https://todoist.com/showTask?id=ABCD) #todoist %%[todoist_id:: ABCD]%%

where as this gets picked

- [x] Task 1 [link](https://todoist.com/showTask?id=ABCD) #todoist %%[todoist_id:: ABCD]%%  ✅ 2023-03-02

I am using https://github.com/HeroBlackInk/ultimate-todoist-sync-for-obsidian plugin which adds the todoist text at the end. The problem is mostly for tasks that get done before being synced. if task is syned after the due date is marked then the text is added to the end causing it to go out of the lists.

Current behaviour

tasks miss out

Hi, thanks for using Tasks.

Indeed, this is a known and documented limitation of Tasks. In this docs, it is written up as What do I need to know about the order of items in a task?

This is the existing feature request to fix it:

• Make Tasks find signifiers even in there is text after them #1505

So, it's nothing personal, but I'll close this as a duplicate request.
