Todoist's default behavior adds new tasks and subtasks to the bottom of lists, making it difficult to organize tasks in priority order and requiring tedious manual dragging when lists are long.

Todoist lacks configuration options to change default task/subtask placement and has poor drag-and-drop functionality for long lists, forcing inefficient manual reorganization.
