Raphaël Helaers (ID: 000000b456a4e437) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/05/2021 Great extension ! Would it be possible to reorder the task list (alphabetically or by drag & drop or by following modified task list order in Google tasks), because it seems to stay in date-of-creation order, and it's a mess when you have a lot of lists :-).
