Hi there,

What's the logic for sorting scheduled tasks? I have a mix of tasks in the database and in XML filles and sorting seems arbitrary. I get a 404 on /Admin/Content/Management/Pages/ScheduledTask_Sort.aspx when I save my sort, presumably because of the large number of tasks. I then sorted in the database directly but that didn't help either.

And finally, it seems that my tasks that are in XML don't sort at all or on date maybe? I just spent an hour sorting this out (pun intended), and now my sort is messed up even more with no way to undo. All I want is to be able to click the Name column and have them sorted by name. And it would be really nice if it remembered that. That's all...

what i see is default base on TASK NAME ascending and you can do your own order by SORT option

That's what you'd expect or want, but not how it works as I explained in my post. Mixing database and file based tasks messes stuff up apparently and the manual sort options returns exceptions. Also, I cannot see how a manual sort would ever work with a mix of database and file based tasks.
