[1.2.7] - 2025-11-06 (@dwertheimer)

New Features

• NEW: Interactive mode (/ts) now prompts users to choose task type grouping (combine related types or keep separate)
• NEW: Added plugin setting "Combine Related Task Types?" for quick sort commands (/tsd, /tsm, /tst, /tsc)
  • When enabled (default): Combines tasks (*) with checklists (+) into 4 logical groups
  • When disabled: Keeps all 8 task types completely separate (traditional mode)
• NEW: Customizable task type headings - 8 new settings allow you to rename headings for localization or personal preference
  • Configure in Plugin Preferences → "Task Type Heading Customization"
  • Examples: Change "Open Tasks" to "Tareas Abiertas" (Spanish) or "任務開放" (Chinese)
• NEW: Setting to control display of empty task category headings
  • "Show Empty Task Category Headings?" (default: off)
  • When disabled, only categories with tasks will show headings

Bug Fixes

• FIXED: Task type headings (e.g. "Open Tasks:", "Completed Tasks:") no longer duplicate when running sort commands multiple times
• FIXED: Headings now appear correctly in interactive mode when user selects "yes" to include headings
• FIXED: Scheduled tasks now appear under "Scheduled Tasks" heading instead of being incorrectly grouped under "Open Tasks" when both headings and interleaving are enabled
• FIXED: Task type sections now output in correct order (Open → Scheduled → Done → Cancelled) instead of reversed order when using headings with interleaving
• FIXED: Corrected "Completed Cancelled Items" typo to "Cancelled Checklist Items"
• FIXED: Empty task category headings (with no tasks underneath) are now properly removed to avoid clutter

Improvements

• IMPROVED: All default sort commands now respect the new "Combine Related Task Types?" setting
• IMPROVED: Better documentation and clearer command descriptions for task grouping feature
• IMPROVED: Added detailed logging for interleaving choices in debug mode
