How to Move Google Tasks on PC or Mac

Rearranging the Order of Tasks

Open Gmail in your internet browser. Type mail.google.com into the address bar, and press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return on your keyboard. If you're not automatically logged in, sign in with your email or phone, and your password.

Click the Google Tasks icon on the right sidebar. The Tasks icon looks like a blue circle with a yellow dot and a white diagonal line. You can find it below your profile picture near the top-right corner. This will open the Tasks app in a new panel on the right-hand side. If your Gmail isn't updated to the latest layout, you may not be able to find the Tasks icon on the sidebar. To update, click the Android 7 Settings icon on the top-right, and select Try the new Gmail.

Click and hold the task you want to move. It will lift up from the list.

Drag the task to its new location on the list. You can move a task up or down on your current list, and change the order of all the tasks here.
