View tasks per sections based on sorting option

Features & Improvements Request

A helpful feature in Things is the ability to view tasks for today (and other views) by section based on the sorting option. For example, if I sort by project, it would be nice to see sections for each project. The same applies when sorting by priority. This feature would also work well for time slots; sorting by timeline could categorize tasks as "Morning," "Afternoon," and "Evening."

Currently, I often feel overwhelmed when many tasks are displayed in one view, making it difficult to see them clearly.

    Clearly sectioned sort options.

    At the minute, in the today page, when I sort by project, all the tasks are still bunched together. I can see that they're sorted on the right-hand side by project, which project it is. I like the visual hierarchy difference. It's visually separated, and they're not bunched together, so it's easier to read.

    Hi @Pierre COLSON

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

    We understand how seeing all tasks in one flat view can feel overwhelming, especially when managing multiple projects, priorities, or time slots. The idea of grouping tasks into sections based on sorting by project, priority, or timeline (Morning/Afternoon/Evening) makes a lot of sense and could help make the daily view much clearer and easier to navigate.

    We’re taking notes on this feedback, as improving task visibility and reducing cognitive overload is an important goal. Features like this could definitely enhance the planning experience for users who handle many tasks at once.

    Thanks again for sharing your perspective—it really helps us prioritize improvements!
