Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In calendar v5.0.9 and tasks v0.16.1 reordering a calendar that is also task list in either the calendar or the task app also reorders in the other.

This is bad because:

  • this behavior is not apparent to the user (I only found out by accident) and not intuitive
  • I sort my calendars by category but for the tasks list it is important that the more important task list is above (like work over hobby e.g.)
Describe the solution you'd like

Do the ordering independent of the ordering in the calendar list.
This also prevents a weird or unexpected order in calendar when reordering in tasks because not all calendars have a task list associated.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the calendar list and task-list ordering are loaded and changed in the JavaScript application. Compare reordering from the calendar and task views, then verify that each view maintains its own order without changing the other.
