Positions

A list of ordered, unique integers related to a users's lists or a list's tasks or a task's subtasks.

Determining Order

Positions are almost completely decoupled from the resource they refer to. Order is determined by the order of the resources' ids in the "values" array on the positions object. This leads to two possibilities:

• An id in the values array refers to a resource that does not exist
• Ids of resources which do exist do not appear in the values array

To determine the order of resources the following convention shall be followed:

• Existing resources follow the order of their ids in the "values" array
• Ids in the "values" array which do not refer to an existing resource are simply ignored
• Existing resources with ids that do not appear in the values array appear at the end ordered by id ASC and then local id ASC.
