How do I rearrange the order of items in a reminder list?

How do I rearrange the order of items in a reminders list?

ICal Reminders won't sort on the actual device it was intended for - the Iphone
I just talked to Apple Express service over this problem.  I went to the trouble of transferring my to-do list onto icloud Reminders - where each item asked for a priority ranking and where you are then given options for how to sort  all the Reminders you entered - so that it can actually be useable as any Calendar/time management system would be.   I chose "by priority" of course, but you can also choose alphabetically, etc.  It must be said, at least to Apple, apparently, that the point of doing all this is so that the Reminders are available on your actual device - my iphone.  The Reminders all synced immediately to the Iphone.  However, the Reminders list is an unsorted jumble on my iphone.  Even when I tap out a Reminder on my iphone itself and choose a priority, the item remains at the bottom of the list as the last thing I typed in.  Apple Express Support "explains" that the priority ranking and the sorting choices are "not supported" on the device you want to use them on - the iphone.   They offered me "an article" that explains this in detail.   In other words, engaging with the Reminder function and choosing priorities and choosing sort orders is all just a cruel joke wasting your time.  I would have been better off just printing off my Reminders list on paper and circling the high priority items in red ink.  Oh - but you can't print it out either.
Unbelieveable.  Apple's ICal Reminder function actually and actively leads you to engage with completing details and choices that don't even function, or in other words - aren't "supported" on the Apple device they are stated to be designed for.  Is there a device on which this function is actually supported?  "Not at this time"
The only way to have your to-do list sorted on the iphone is to assign a calendar date for each one of them and then they only appear on that specific date.  You would not be able to view your whole list in anything other than the order you happened to enter the items.  No calendar/time management system I know of makes you put a date on every item in a  task list - some tasks have a due date, but most don't.  And every calendar/time management system allows you to sort your list, or view your list in a sorted order.   And print it out also.
Apple advertises this Icloud Ical/Reminders system as a time managment tool and fails to tell us that vital functions don't even work on your iphone.

  • How do I rearrange the order of my pages in my document?

    How do I rearrange the order of my pages in my document using the Pages Program?

    Pages (or Word, come to that) don't work like that, because the "page" is not fixed - it will vary depending on what content it has. A PDF has fixed pages, and you can rearrange the pages of a PDF in Preview by dragging thumbnails in the thumbnail drawer. If you want to rearrange content in your Pages document, you have to cut and paste the content to where you want it.

  • How can I rearrange the order of pictures within a folder

    I have an 8310 and all of the pictures are stored on a media card.  The pictures are all within one folder.  I want to rearrange the order of the pictures within the folder.  When looking at the pictures they are in rows of 3.  I want to move picture #9 to position #1 within the same folder. I've read all the help topics and have not been able to accomplish this.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Go to your photoshop.com website. Log in if needed. Click on "Online Tools."  Choose "Photoshop Express Organizer."  Click and drag photos into the order you want.
    Captions might best be added in the Elements Editor Organizer (99jon is correct) by double-clicking on thumbnail to make a full screen image, then a line appears under the photo and asks you to print your caption there. Sync it with your online website.

  • How do I change the order of addresses in a Mail list?

    I have been using Lists in Mail very successfully for a number of years but the addresses do not seem to be in any order - not alphabetical, not in the order I put them into the list.  Sometimes I need to NOT send an email to a person on one of my lists and finding their address amongst up to 65 addresses in BCC and deleting it is time wasting.  Does anyone know to to alphabetize the lists?

    Hi ozziejack123,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The individual contacts are sorted first within the Contact application.  When you create a group in Contacts, the individual names in the group should keep the same sorting order.  Try resetting the name order for all contacts.
    Contacts (Mavericks): List contacts by first or last name
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15091
    Choose whether contacts’ first or last names are listed first, and whether they’re sorted by first or last name.
    Change the name order for all contacts
    Choose Contacts > Preferences, then click General.
    Select an option next to “Show first name.”
    Sort contacts
    Choose Contacts > Preferences, then click General.
    Use the Sort By menu to choose how to sort.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • How can I rearrange the order of the different toolbars in Firefox?

    It tried the method you suggest two days ago, and can't make it work. The window that opens only allows me to drag new buttons from it to toolbars. I get the same on all the bars (menu, address, bookmarks and tabs). Does anybody know another way?

  • How can I change the order of items in the iCloud Reminders To Do list?

    I thought I'd been able in the past on my PC to click-and-drag To Do items within the list, but now when I do it, they bounce right back to their previous location.  Am I doing something wrong, or is this functionality just not available? 
    I use a PC with Windows 7/Outlook 2010, an iPhone 4S, and an iPad 3rd gen.

  • Rearranging the order of the pages

    How do i rearrange the order of my pages?  they seemed to be clumped in groups and i would like them as individual pages so that i can move them around.  every time i try to put in a page break or section i get more blank pages and it still will not let me move pages.
    thanks.

    What version of Pages on Mac or iOS?
    You need Section Breaks not Page Breaks and there can be several reasons why you are getting extra 'blank" pages, most are because they are not blank but have some invisible text on them:
    Menu > View > Show Invisibles/Layout

    I have a submenu screen containing 10 selectable buttons plus the Return Arrow button.  I have ordered all the slideshows in the correct order in the DVD map.  However, when I run the program, the arrow keys jump the selection focus in an apparently random sequence.  How can I control the order of the selection focus?

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • How do I rearrange the list order of my email accounts on my iPad?

    I want my iPad to list my email accounts like my iPhone and in order of how much I use them. On my iPad the iCloud account is listing first and I want it last. How do I change the order of the email account list?

    From what I've found, the only way to change the order is to (delete them and then) create them in that order.

  • Can I rearrange the Finder Sidebar items?

    Is it possible to rearrange the Finder Sidebar items? I would like to get the "10.6" order: Devices>Network>Places

    I find this extremely annoying as well. Of course you can drag any volume to the favorites list - BUT - if you unmount them, they do NOT reappear there when they are re-mounted. You have to manually add them back again.
    Also, I work with a lot of volumes that require frequent mounting and un-mounting. It's a time waster to try and keep them in the favorites list so I've given up.
    Constantly having to scroll DOWN to get to the bottom of the list is ridiculous. So combine that with the fact that there are NO MORE COLORED icons in the sidebar. Talk about ***-backward-going-in-the-wrong-direction-mentality.... So with my poor eyesight, I find basic navigation within the Finder becoming more and more of a strain.
    Seems like Apple is going out of their way making things MORE difficult for the Pro user as they try to simplify things for "switchers" and for the "rest of us...".
    While I'm on a roll, I find that every time there is a big issue from us users about something that has been changed in the OS with an update, more and more of the solutions are from power users that post up terminal commands to rectify those issues, or try to direct people on how to edit .plist files. These people are certainly trying to help but working in the terminal is VERY risky business for the average user.
    Configurability from the Finder is slowly going away with every new OS incarnation, forcing average users to dig deeper into areas they should NOT have to be dealing with. You see the problem here?
    And lastly, I'm not hater. Far from it. I've been a loyal customer for 20 years which is why it's so sad and frustrating to me.
    It's just that I hate to watch this slow yet steady progression into the pale grey realms of un-configurability...

  • How do I change the order of the fields in my pdf form?

    I am using pdf. form I made in Acrobat and distributing with Adobe FormsCentral.  We use a table format for our teachers to fill out their field trip schedules and therefore use many different fields.
    How can I change the order of the fields (not for tabbing, we figured that out)...so that when we receive our notification email, I can see the inforamtion in a specific order (Date, Time, School, Program, etc).
    We would also like this same order to appear in the "View Responses" table.  I know you can drag and drop the order in the table but we have over 100 fields and that is going to take a really long time.

    What do you mean by the "order they appear in the pdf structure"?  What is the "Pdf structure"? 
    thank you for your help... this is really upsetting, as I thought we finally found a solution with Adobe Forms : (
    We really need the fields to report back in a specific order and wouldn't have time to rearrange over 100 fields with every form that is submitted. We receive about 10-20 different forms a day (same form layout, just some of the fields will have to be prefilled depending on school/teacher reservation... so we have to name each form a different name, for each school).
    Thank you again and maybe one day they will change that.  Is there anyway to set it up in the web verison of Adobe FormsCentral to look similar to the table we have created?
