Sorting order of due dates: "Date + time" takes precedence over "Date"

When due dates are sorted and displayed by date, they will look like this.

1 Date
2 Date 08:00
3 Date 15:00

Personally, I would like the time specification to be displayed first.

1 Date 08:00
2 Date 15:00
3 Date


In the inbox, the “date + time” will be displayed above the “date”.

I agree, and I’ve wondered about this. If something needs to be done at a specific time rather than just somewhere on the day it is due earlier, so sorting it as you suggest makes more sense.

  • PC browser: Date takes priority, date + time comes later
  • Android app: Date takes priority, date + time comes later
  • iPhone app: Date + time takes priority, date comes later

  • PC browser & app: Date takes priority, date + time comes later

If something needs to happen before a specific time today, it makes no sense to me to sort these above things that just need to happen today but have no specific time.

The effect it has on me is often:

sigh, I’ll get rid of the due date sort and sort it by hand …
