Hey everyone. Brilliant module.
I am creating my own interface in views, that is very task-centric. Its similar to the Tasks view in Storm.
How can I handle Task-sorting in views? I've done some views-customfield trickery to sort child tasks under parent tasks successfully, but I cannot extend this to 3rd generation children.
What I'm doing at the moment is involved, but here is an idea
IF this task is a child task, SortID = $data->parent_task_ID . "B"
IF this task is a parent task, SortID = $data->nid . "A"
As you can see, all children will have their parent task nid then "B" as a Sort ID, so they sort directly under the parent. Then I can use CSS to make them indented.
With a child of a child however, I have no "grandparent_task_ID", or anything else I can relate the three tasks to.
So how do you guys do it on the tasks theme you have? I figure there is a value in the database somewhere I can use to create the indents using css.
Maybe I should just customize the tasks .tpl.php, and use the nice drag and drop?
Suggestions would be awesome. Thanks.

I suspect you're breaking new ground here - i'm not sure of an answer and would welcome any suggestions from anyone...
