Hi Chris,

On "Tasks" page new tasks are added to the top/end of the list (depending which "create" button you use).
On "Project & Customers" page tasks are added to the end of the list.

When the tasks list is refreshed, either page is reloaded or just the list refreshed, then task is displayed according to alphabetical order.

The reason why it is initially added to the end/top of the list is that it would be very confusing/illegible if it is added to the middle of the list.
It could be difficult to spot where the task is and if it was added successfully. That could be even more confusing for large lists that do not fit entirely on the screen (task could end up somewhere out of the visible area).

That is a quite common pattern I believe.

I hope all of that make sense.

Let us know if you think there is a better way to approach that.

Thanks,
Jacek
