Now, we\u2019ve discovered that Google could offer another nifty deadline-related feature in Tasks.<\/p>\n<p>We conducted a teardown of the Google Tasks app for Android (2025.11.17.833092473.0-release) and enabled the ability to sort tasks by deadline. Check out our screenshots below.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Google Tasks sort by deadline 1 AssembleDebug\"  alt=\"Google Tasks sort by deadline 1 AssembleDebug\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Google-Tasks-sort-by-deadline-1-AssembleDebug-scaled.jpg\"\/><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Google Tasks sort by deadline 2 AssembleDebug\"  alt=\"Google Tasks sort by deadline 2 AssembleDebug\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Google-Tasks-sort-by-deadline-2-AssembleDebug-scaled.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_Em\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Choosing this option results in tasks being sorted by earliest to latest deadline, while tasks with no deadline appear near the bottom. This approach makes sense, giving you a good idea of which tasks to prioritize based on when they need to be completed. Don\u2019t care for this filter option? Then you can also sort tasks by title, date, \u201cstarred recently,\u201d and your own custom order.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no word on a release timeline for this sorting option, but we expect it to be available on all platforms where Tasks can be accessed (e.g., the Tasks app, Gmail, Calendar).<\/p>\n<p>In any event, we\u2019re glad to see this sorting option in Google Tasks, but there\u2019s still room to improve the deadline functionality itself. The biggest omission is that you can\u2019t set a deadline time in addition to a date. So we really hope Google adds this functionality sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p>\u26a0\ufe0f An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
