Sorting Thoughts 1.2.0 update available now
Sorting Thoughts version 1.2.0 is available for download. The new version contains some bugfixes and new big features which makes Sorting Thoughts Getting Things Done® (GTD®) ready. The following new features will improve your task management:
1. Gantt charts – see the big picture
Every project thought has now a “Task Schedule” tab which shows all related tasks in a Gantt chart. You can move the tasks to change the start and end dates. Gantt charts are great to see the whole planning picture of your projects.
2. Thought filter – see your next tasks
Further, the new version let you set filter rules for the thought tree. With the new context menu of the search input field (right-click), you can set this filter rules. For example, a very useful filter is “Show my next tasks” which let you see all open tasks sorted by end date and priority.
3. State-based icons – see it quickly
Every project and task thought has now a state-based icon. So you can see the state (open, in progress, closed) and the priority (high, medium and low) without open the thought.

Part 1: The mobile sync
This is the first part of a little series of articles with a closer look at the core features of Sorting Thoughts. This article is about the mobile synchronization feature for HP webOS and Android devices.
If you use the mobile version of Sorting Thoughts (available for HP webOS and Android devices), you can sync your thoughts with the desktop version in three simple steps. Thats makes it pretty easy to keep important thoughts in your pocket or to sync back sudden inspirations in your desktop thought collection. Moreover, you can use the sync to backup all mobile thoughts.
I think the sync feature is one of the greatest features of Sorting Thoughts. Let’s take a closer look on it:
Video tutorial
Watch it on Youtube: Sorting Thoughts: “Mobile sync” tutorial
Sync your thoughts in three steps
Step 1: Connect your device by USB
In the first step you must connect your handset with your desktop PC by USB cable. Your handset must be in the USB drive mode. If you have problems to do this, please consult the user manual of your handset.
Step 2: Enable the sync
To enable the sync, open the preferences of the desktop version and enable the mobile sync option. In the sync preference view you can also see information about the last successful sync (last device path and sync date).
Step 3: Start the sync
Now you are ready to start the sync. Click on the “Start sync” button in the preference view or in the menu bar. If you start the sync for the first time, Sorting Thoughts must find the mobile thought collection and you will see a dialog box with the following request: “Please select a folder on the USB drive of your handset.” After the selection of any folder on the USB drive, Sorting Thoughts will find the mobile thought collection automatically.
Sorting Thoughts analyzed all entries which are relevant for the sync. After the sync all mobile thoughts are visible in the thought tree and in an extra “Mobile Thoughts” shelf.
Good to know
- If you have activated a password lock on your mobile app, you must enter this password in the synchronisation process.
- You can only sync one device with the desktop app. If you want sync a 2nd device the pairing between the first device and the desktop app must be reseted.
- In some cases, it is possible that the sync detects conflicts. You can use a compare dialog if changes on a desktop and mobile thought are detected. To open this dialog, double-click on the thought in the conflict resolve dialog.
- If you want to add a thought to your mobile thought collection, you must use the “Mobile Sync…” action in the context menu of the relevant thought.
- At the moment, the sync supports only simple thoughts – no projects, tasks or events.
- If the mobile app still running after the sync, you must restart the app.
