List View

The List view is the workhorse mode in Fox — a single column of issues you can scan, sort, filter, and reorder. It's the default for new Versions and Milestones and the only mode available for Issue Groups (All Issues, Bookmarks, By Priority, Due, and so on).

List always shows the detail column alongside it, so selecting an issue immediately populates the right-hand panel without any extra toggling.

What List Is Good For

Reach for List when you want to:

Move quickly through many issues with the keyboard
Sort by a property (priority, due date, status, estimate, and others) to triage
Maintain a manual order — drag issues into the sequence you want to tackle them
Keep the detail column anchored so you can see the full issue alongside the browser

Sorting

Sort options live in the Filter menu in the toolbar. List supports:

Title
Status
Type
Priority
Milestone
Version
Date Opened
Date Closed
Estimate
Resolution
Date Added
Manual

Toggle Ascending or Descending for any sort. Manual turns off automatic sorting so you can drag issues into a custom order — each group, version, and milestone keeps its own manual sequence, so reordering one location doesn't disturb another.

Filtering

The same Filter menu carries a Show option that scopes the visible issues:

Open — Only issues that haven't been closed
Closed — Only resolved issues
All — Everything in the current location

Filter and Sort settings are remembered per location, so the way you set up a milestone for triage stays that way the next time you open it.

Selecting and Opening Issues

Single tap / click — Selects the issue and populates the detail column.
Double tap / click — Opens the issue in a floating window on macOS, or pushes the detail view on iPhone and compact iPad layouts.
Multi-select — Use shift- or command-click on Mac, or enter Edit mode on iOS to select multiple issues for bulk actions.
Context menu — Right-click on Mac, or long-press on iOS, for per-issue actions (Bookmark, Type, Priority, Status, Move, Copy…, Delete, and more).

Selected issues respond to the Issue menu and to keyboard shortcuts, so a lot of routine work — closing, tagging, moving between milestones — can be done without leaving the list.

Manual Reorder

When the sort is set to Manual, drag any issue up or down to rearrange. The order is scoped to the current location, so you can prioritize the work inside one milestone without affecting another.

Manual order survives switching to another sort and back — Fox holds onto it in the background.
