Why does setting a Thunderbird task's PRIORITY not result in any sortable, searchable function?
When a task is set up one of the options is to prioritize the task. However, the saved task is not sortable by priority or searchabe by priorty and doesn't show its priority when in a list, I have to wonder why it is there if it doesn't add any related functionality.
I have Thunderbird on Linux Mint Cinnamon

Hello there Nutworhty .
The field is gray, which means this feature is currently disabled. Although the text editor works well and accepts various types of calendars, it is simply not usable if the priority feature is not supported.
In fact, many calendar servers and protocols do not support iCal priority.
To test where the issue lies, you can try using the calendar that came with the software as an external calendar on your computer. If the priority feature works there, then the limitation lies within your current external calendar app.
Apps that function without the priority feature by default include: DavX5, Google Calendar, and Exchange Sync.
