I'd like to use URP4 for to-do list management. To do this, it would be very convenient to have multiple sorts on exposed columns in the related items pane.

First sort: complete y/n
Second sort: priority
Third sort: date
Forth sort: alphanumeric on item title

Making it with ascending and descending would be super.

Making it so I could check off an attribute to make the item no longer part of the to-do list at all.

I could keep this view in a separate tab and have all my action items right there, prioritized, sortable, etc.

And once again, I have no clue about how easy or hard it would be do implement this. If it's feasible, please consider putting this in the road map.

Thanks a lot.

Bal- I believe the features you need are already "baked in"..

UR has been a fantastic to-do list manager for me.

I use a custom task form to "check off an attribute" along with a saved search "to make the item no longer part of the to-do list".

I use multiple sorted columns in the related items grid and different views of the same list in different tabs.

I use due dates and appropriate search parameters so that I can add items to the list but not have them appear on the to-do list until they are due.

I use nested searches to search on hierarchy, so that items that can't be done until something else is done first, don't appear on the list.

I have to-do lists by project.

In fact, much of the time, I would rather customize my to-do list than to actually complete the items on it...and UR has so many ways to organize my data. In the "Next Planned Release" is "Checkbox for yes/no attributes in grid" and "Ability to hide completed items in tree"
I may never perfect my to-do list.

The included sample GTD.urd was a useful source of ideas for me....

Wonderful! I've been using URP since what? version 2? And I never grasped this! (grrrrr)

Thank you for informing this most unworthy one. :)
