Configure Quick Capture to add tasks to the beginning of a file

By default beorg adds new tasks to the end of a file. For example, if this is your inbox.org…

* TODO Build shed
* IN-PROGRESS Buy fence paint

…and you add the task “Book restaurant”, inbox.org will become…

* TODO Build shed
* IN-PROGRESS Buy fence paint
* TODO Book restaurant

If you’d like new tasks to be added to the beginning you can get beorg to do this by creating a template, and setting the template as the default for Quick Capture.

1. Long-press the Quick Capture button
2. Select Manage Template…
3. Tap the + (top right) to create a new template
4. Tap “Add to Start?”. This tells beorg that when the template is used items get added to the beginning of the file rather than the end
5. After setting up any other defaults, tap the star button at the top of the screen to set this template as the default
6. Now Save the template, and tap Done on the Templates screen

If you try tapping the Quick Capture button again, adding the task “Book restaurant” will result in inbox.org becoming:

* TODO Book restaurant
* TODO Build shed
* IN-PROGRESS Buy fence paint

Success!
