TO-Do List Export or Sort By function

Hey Admins,

Would it be possible to either be able to export the To-do list or sort by a category (ie. difficulty or location)?

Sorting by location is really good for trips while sorting by difficulty is a good way to measure progression/ set goals for local areas.

Or just exporting would allow us users to do that using excel

Thought it'd be a cool feature

Thanks,
-Brian

You can export your To Do List using a link at the top of your page:

Nick, I see the option to export the tick list, but do not see any such option for the To-Do list - just the printer friendly view.

Sorry, I responded with morning brain! We don't have an export for To Dos.

Thanks for the response Nick, I think I may write an excel macro to tackle this. I'll post it when/if I finish it. Might be a cool little programming project.

Still working on it but here is a semi solution using Excel.

1.)Click on Data Tab

export step 1

2.)Click on "From Web" in the "Get External Data" panel in the toolbar (top leftish)

export 2

3.)Copy and past the URL for your TO-DO list on mt project into the "New Web Query" Address bar

4.) Select the table you want to import

5.) Press import

export 3

I haven't gotten the macro to good functionality level yet but this should be a good temporary fix

I'd like to resurrect this post and request a better sort option for the To Do List on each person's page. Trying to sort my list manually is not even close to worth it, but I think this should be a fairly easy addition to MP that would make it much easier to use.

Possible sort options: area, difficulty, type (bouldering, sport, trad, etc.), stars.

Any chance the MP computer geeks can figure something out?

Agreed and in the plans for the site re-write that is happening this year.  It will be late 2017 before we get to this page, however.

Thanks! That's awesome. All of the changes so far look great, and I just wanted to throw this idea out there because it would be SUPER convenient. Thanks for all of the hard work!
