Sorting reminders?

Hi out there.
My question is following. Is it possible to sort reminders in list view by alert date and not only the end date? The list view is a problem when you create a reminder with a different start and finish date.
Thanx
Tom

You can sort move both items in a list and the list groups.
You can select a category (such as Misc) and move it. You can select an item in the list and move it. Moving an item in the list is a little challenging. The area around the text (like 'Update Blog', is a text box so putting your cursor there and clicking will insert the text curosr into the text. You have to click in the space close to the edges of the item to grab it. Then it can be moved.
I have one calendar - iCloud. If I had another calendar then its name would appear above the categories in that calendar. I don't believe calendars can be moved around.

Regarding new Reminder app in Mountain Lion: is there a away to sort reminders by due date in the same fashion you can in the iCloud version of Reminders?

Regarding new Reminder app in Mountain Lion: is there a way to sort reminders in due date order in the same fashion as you can in the iCloud version of Reminders?

So true! I have to agree: "It appears Reminders in 10.8 did not get a whole lot of thought put into it regarding how folks actually use reminders."
With Mountain Lion, Reminders no longer resembles a task-management (to-do) app in any way. I used to be able to limp along using it for my to-dos (although it never did accommodate this need well). This upgrade has made Reminders completely unusable for task management.
Once I got over my disappointment, I did some research and decided to try "Things." This application has all the functionality I've been wanting all along. It has a Mac version, an iPhone version, and an iPad version (among others)--and it keeps all devices synched via the Cloud (just not the iCloud ... but who needs the i ?). I wish I'd discovered it years ago. I'm glad now that Mountain Lion put Reminders over the edge; otherwise, I would not have made this discovery.
"Things" (oddly named though it is) comes close to the old Franklin planner software I used to love and haven't been able to find a substitute for. It can import items from Reminders, and it works with Siri. It's a joy to use, and it does everything I want it to do plus some things I never thought of and will use all the time. I downloaded the free trial version last night and within an hour paid for it with gratitude.

Manually sorting Reminders in iCal does not work

On my Mac, within iCal, I can not sort Reminders manually. I've deleted iCal Prefs and started over, but still cannot sort manually. Any ideas? Thanks!

The newest Version 5.0.1 (1547.4) of iCal, for Mac OSX Lion (Version 10.7.2), has the Sort Manually option for Reminders. As stated in the preceding reply, however, this option is not available in the iCloud Calendar. Therein lies the problem, apparently.
Yesterday, I was on the phone with Apple Support for an nearly two hours, trying to get to the bottom of this issue. Not knowing the answer, the first person I talked to referred me to someone in the iApps department. The person in the iApps department could not resolve the problem either. So, I was referred to a senior technician in that department. After a lengthy diagnosis, this person confirmed that this is a system-wide problem in which the function is missing. The case was forwarded to the engineers, and I will be notified when they have a response.
Once, I get the response, I will update this discussion thread.

Is it possible to sort reminders

I'm excited to have reminders synch overicloud but is it possible to sort reminders by importance? Also it would be great to be able to rate importance directly through the interface rather than having to go to info tab

Both of your questions or statements are not possible at this time. Those are great features indeed, and I strongly encourage you to submit it through apple.com/feedback

How to sort Reminders (in List mode)?

How do I sort Reminders (in List mode) in chronological sequence according to due date?
It works automatically in iCloud via web browser, but apparently not in the iPhone Reminders app. Please help. Thank you!

Apparently, Apple thinks you don't need to sort them. They will thus appear in the order you create them. This is also bugging me though, along with all of the other problems with this app. (not possible to set due date on iPhone)
Oh, if you want to help, submit this "feature" to Apple at this page:

HT202297 How to sort reminders in OSX Moutain Lion?

on the iCloud calendar, I can sort reminders by date, description, importance, etc. How can I do that on my desktop in OSX Mountain Lion's Reminders?

David,
Can you or anyone else (e.g., someone from Apple) explain why Apple did it this way when it seems such a trivial programming effort to sort this list in logical way? It is inexplicable to me; how is an unsorted list "easier" for users?
Did Apple consciously choose to leave the list unsorted for some obscure reason, or are they employing software engineers who do not understand and/or care how their customers use this function?
Thanks

Unable to drag to manually sort reminders list in iCal

Hi and thanks in advance for your help.
I run Mac OS X 10.7.5.
I find myself unable to manually sort reminders in iCal by dragging them up or down. If I click on the text of the reminder or the checkbox, I am able to drag it anywhere but I can't "release it". If I release my click, it goes back to it's original position and doesn't bump the other reminder down the list. I hope I am making sense.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Any help?
Thanks!

How do I manually sort reminders in iCal after upgrade to 10.7.2

I used to use the iCal "To do" list to have an ordered list of things I needed to do. I would choose to sort manually (by right clicking in the to do area) and then I could drag the items into the order I wanted to do them.
After upgrading to OS 10.7.2, "To do"s has become reminders and although the option to sort manually is still there. It doesn't work. The syncing with my iphone would be great, but without the ability to order a big list it's pretty much useless to me.
Anyone know how to get this back?

Is it possible to sort reminders in the list view?

The reminders, when entered with my iPhone, show up ordered by when I entered them. Is there a way to sort them by the due date? Is this something that will be added later on?

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.

Can i sort reminders by date

I want to sort my reminders so they show in date order - - - this is an obvious bit of functionality that any reminder program should have -- why can't i do this?

Unfortunately, I don't believe it can.

Can I sort reminders by priority? Can I even see the priority in list form?

I'm trying to work in the new Reminders App. I've set the priority for the various reminders, but there is no visual clue in the date list what that priority is. I'd be happy with a way to arrange them, or a way to sort them by priority, or any method for prioritizing my list. Is there really not a way to do this?

You might do better to make a playlist with the music you want on your iPod rather than the check boxes. Then you set your iPod to sync to your playlist.
You could use either a regular playlist or a smart playlist which opens up may intersting possibilites.
But to answer you question, you can only do this indirectly. You can make a smart playlist that includes only checked items. Then you can make a second smart playlist that lists items not in the first playlist.
Playlist1
mach following rule:
Date added after 01/01/1900 (just there to select everthing)
Match only checked items checked.
Live updating checked
Playlist2
Match following rule:
Playlist is not playlist1
Match only checked items NOT checked
Live updating checked

ICloud: reminders in iCal all over the place, unable to sort

Since I have switched my .me account to iCloud I have been unable to auto sort reminders in iCal on my Mac by date as I used to be able to before the switch.
Before I had the option to sort by date when I clicked on the small triangle on the right side of "reminders". Now there are only all different icloud reminder categories shown.
Surprisingly, when Im using safari and login to ical in icloud reminders are sorted by date as I want it.
Any of you experiencing the same problem or knowing how to solve this issue?
Thanks a lot!

Ical reminders move...

Can anyone help me with a tangential issue. While working with my reminders list on my Mac, I can't re-order items. I have "sort reminders" on manual sorting, but they jump around anywhere. If I move one, it jumps back, usually to a place different from its original. I must be missing something...

ok, i found the contents of the iCal application in another page and it appears that the iCalAlarmScheduler.app should be in the contents but I searched my iCal.app contents on my MB and there is not an iCalAlarmScheduler.app. I don't know if the scheduler is an additional app that needs to be installed separately.
This are the contents I need:
./Applications/iCal.app/Contents/Resources/iCalAlarmScheduler.app
./Applications/iCal.app/Contents/Resources/iCalAlarmScheduler.app/Contents
./Applications/iCal.app/Contents/Resources/iCalAlarmScheduler.app/Contents/Info. plist
./Applications/iCal.app/Contents/Resources/iCalAlarmScheduler.app/Contents/versi on.plist
