Priority Levels
You might have Most Important Task, or Important Task, or even a Bump List. Some Tasks are more important than others, So a Priority Level would be nice.
Level 1 to Level 10
Or Task Catagories: "Simple Quick Tasks", "Bump List",

Importance is now available in version 1.35. Just star your to-dos with the highest priority and sort by Importance to have them move to the top of your list.

Let's state some obvious problems:
1) One Note Tasks don't sync and neither do Outlook. MS needs to CONSOLIDATE their "to do" platforms.
2) Whoever designs these apps should be required to take a Franklin Planner training course so they actually understand how to plan a day when you have a lot going on. Forcing people into an anemic set of pre-defined statuses and priorities based on what some developer thinks is cute doesn't cut it.
3) Why do these "to do" tasks not tie in with MS-Project? I can't import those assignments can I? Let me paint a picture for you Microsoft. I have my To-Do list, then corporate Outlook and One Note plus assignments in MS-Project, JIRA and Confluence.... and I have stuff "to do" everywhere, yet you're giving me a stand alone app that doesn't integrate and has a single blue star to prioritize my day. Yeah. This isn't a grocery list ya know.
4) Finally and absolutely most irritanting... I'M THE SAME PERSON AS MY CORPORATE ACCOUNT! Figure it out. YOU forced me to have a personal account, then YOU forced my company to give me a corporate account and now YOUR apps create a damn nightmare because I can't access both at the same time. -

Wunderlist allowed us to rearrange the list items according to our own priorities in addition to tagging an item with a Star. This provides the best flexibility. Please make this an optional feature.

Prio1 to 4 would be very helpful. Would like to change my todo applicaiton to ms todo - but real priorities (Eisenhower) are missing!

The star for priority is a good start, but the sensible next iteration would be numbering to-dos according to their position in the Eisenhower matrix, as per the request here: https://todo.uservoice.com/forums/597175-feature-suggestions/suggestions/18997129-eisenhower-matrix

We appreciate the star for importance but a four priority levels would make the tool more functional or what is used in Outlook Tasks:
Critical, High, Medium, and Low
Thank you!

I fear that Microsoft is not reading these comments because the suggestion is completed.
Like at the sub-tasks we need to create a new issue and vote there (and this can take years until it will be implemented).I just hope that only s few people are using the stars so Microsoft thinks about implementing priority levels.
But on the other hand: the developers of Wunderlist decided to keep it simple and they just added a star (and no priorities).
And they are also developing Microsoft To-Do, so I guess we will never have the chance for priorities. -

Add "Starred" in sidebar to list all starred tasks across all lists.
Otherwise, what is the use of adding stars in the first place?

but the short list are still missing, no click on Important and all star-points in the lists are on an overview

Please Please Please can you add the option of hiding these priority ‘stars’ - I use this app to overcome my ‘obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)’ as lists help me a great deal, but I get very anxious when there is too much ‘on screen’ - so please can you add the option of hiding this feature, thank you so much & God Bless :0) xxx

Outlook already has too few priority levels. It should go back to the levels that were available in Schedule +.

Knock, Knock. Hello, is anybody home? I have a new suggestion: Add priority levels to Microsoft to-do and, this time do it like you mean it.

The truth is, teams of Microsoft do what they actually want.
Insider programs/uservoice are just formalities or tricks to keep users motivated with HOPE.

If we open up an other ticket, this will be open for at least 15 months.
And Microsoft is only willing to implement, wen it has some thousands votes. -

Come on, why not use the priority that also Outlook uses? This tasks are the same as Outlook! Please share a common set of feature between the two softwares

People complaining here that the task is not done yet: simply open up, another ticket or vote for an existing one :)

I was halfway, I would not mark as completed this request. It is one thing to mark something as important and another is to give it a priority from 1 to n. With my team we normally define tasks and I assign them priorities, but now I have to do manually adding the number before the task to sort.

Hey everyone, if you want multiple priorities, try adding #P1, #P2, #P3, etc to your task descriptions. Easy to see. Easy to search.

Two priority levels is not what I would have expected. I have multiple levels of priority for my tasks. Instead of stars or indicators, how about a field that can be an integer number and then sort options on that.
