Describe your improvement idea or feature request
After playing with the filter/sort dialog, I have figured out how it works.. I just haven't found it useful for me.
You know what would be better? Reports! A report is a purpose build combination of description, filter and sort, and taskwarrior has a LOT of them, but which ones? I would suggest starting with the default reports that have a report.*.sort parameter, to be specifc, theses ones;
These reports have a range of sort and filter parameters answering several task sorting challenges. This core set of default task reports would be super handy, and if a .taskrc file is made available locally, users could tweak existing reports and even create custom ones. Customized or user-created reports should be grouped at the top of the list. I think something like the reporting functionality illustrated below, would be very useful.
How would you like to see it implemented?
It's a big one! taskwarrior report definitions would have to be brought in, and virtual filters like +ACTIVE and +READY would have to be parsed. As well, the ability to read a local .taskrc and extract non-default report details (as long as they have to ".sort" parameter) and the surrounding UI magic. Thanks for considering it!
