Is it possible to make custom priorities for Outlook tasks?

[dim4x4]

Hi,

Is there a VBA way or maybe an existing add-in that would replace
Outlook Task's built-in priorities (ie. High, Normal, Low) with
something like (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10). Then I want to have the ability
to sort (view tasks) in order of the priority.

Thank you!

You could certainly add your own custom field to hold a numeric priority value, but you can't change the behavior of the built-in Priority property.

You cannot change or replace the built-in priorities. You could create a
user defined field with any range of settings you want and sort or group by
that if you define the user defined field in the folder. Or you could use an
already existing field for that purpose, such as BillingInformation or
Mileage.

Thank you Sue and Ken!

Will try to do a cusom field and if it's too hard will use Mileage for
that.
