Well, the title says it all: I want to have an automatic action that doesn’t move recurring tasks to the utmost left column. Because that’s where my backlog is and will be. I want a recurring task like, whatever, “eat another apple” to be put into the “ready” column when I finished the last one. How is that possible?

Is it at least possible to go into some file and change a “1” to a “2” so that the task is moved to the second column or sth?

Everything is possible!™

However, changing the core functionalities this way might lead you into trouble on the next upgrade.  
Please think about a feature request.

“Everything is possible!” But not for me 🤪 My PHP skills are rudimentary. Could one of you point me in the right direction? What do I have to change in which file?
