Bug / Feature: determine correct sort order for new tasks

[berrydenhartog]

Tasks have a field sort_order which is used to order fields (from low to high). When adding new tasks, a sort_order should be given.

Presumably, new tasks would appear at the and of a column, if tasks already exist. This means that cards that are added, the "highest sort order" should be retrieved from the database; new tasks have to be given a sort order that is higher than that.

Practical example:
task1 in todo: sort_order = 10
task2 in todo: sort_order = 20
new task(3) to be inserted in todo: 20 + (default sort order increment, can be 1 or higher)

Currently, tasks are added with the creation of a new project with a "loop id" (from 1 to X). This should be changed to "highest value of last card in column" + "loop id".

Next steps:

• perform research on examples on how to sort tasks. How does this work in other systems? nosql?

We suggest to research this ticket and time-box this on 2 days.
