Tasks can be reordered manually from both the List view and Timeline views. In Timeline view, this is especially helpful if you are trying to visualize the follow of tasks and dates. When a task with subtasks is expanded in the Timeline view, however, only dates govern where the tasks go. I’d like to be able to manually drag around the subtasks within the larger task as well to improve the flow visuals.
I’ve included a screenshot of one example where this can be non-ideal in its current form. I have several tasks that block a later task. But since the later task is set for the next day, rather than showing it below the predecessors (and I can’t drag it there either), it pops back up to the top where’s there’s space. But the dependency lines overlap and it looks messy. In the screen shot, the arrow shows the downstream task, and the filled orange rectangle is where I’d like to drag it. Notice also that an even later task “Edit English captions” is showing at the very top of the subtask container, but I’d prefer a waterfall visual approach, constantly going down and to the right (as long as they are linked tasks).
