Numbering and Ordering of Tasks (Incrementally) within a list
M

Would love to see a field that displays the number of a task within a list.
Adding another task, increments the number by 1.
Sub tasks are numbered after a period.
Task = 1
subtask = 1.1
When a task is reordered (e.g. drag and drop), so is the number and any other tasks and subtasks below it. A view may need to be created to maintain this and this action can only occur in this number/order view.
If the tasks that are numbered are sorted in a different way e.g. by Priorty then the numbering of task/subtask should should not change

Yes, the feature Marcus requested can be used as WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) for project management, but we also need a simple column for numbering all items from 1 to XXXX... As seen in the screenshot below

This would be great as custom ID are only available at workspace level and not at list level. It's a pity that you have to manually define a task number instead of defining it incrementally.

I second this! Given the paucity of grouping levels in timesheets and time reporting, giving subtasks unique names within projects is paramount. However, managing these names is a real pain in the unmentionable given the need to manually create and number them (and re-number them if things change!)

For example, see the Outline Numbering in MS Project
