Re: [PHPiCalendar-DEV] VTODO sorting

Dear Chad and other VTODO-concerned people,

I think that's a shame, because I wish there were a way for me to indicate
that certain events are unimportant, meaning they should go to the bottom
of the heap, in addition to being able to push events to the top.  As it
stands, at least in the iCal implementation, I have to give every to-do a
priority if I want certain ones at the bottom.  I suppose this would be
solved if iCal gave every event some sort of medial priority by default,
and let you choose to either raise or lower that, but... alas.

I think you could get around this hack if you used usort().  That way, you
could specify in the comparison function how events without priority,
events without due dates, and completed events should be treated.  I think
you're right, though, in putting events with no due dates later than those
with, and events with no priority after those with priority, but before
completed events.

I'll work on it.  I'd noticed that the pop-up was basically useless for
to-dos.

Rock on,

Greg
