and adjusting the order of the task groups in the task list according to the update order. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising: dragging a third task group control in the navigation floating window in response to detecting a dragging operation performed on the third task group control; obtaining a first position of the third task group control in the navigation floating window after the dragging operation; and obtaining a second position in the task list that matches the first position, and adjusting a position of a third task group in the task list to the second position. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein positioning the position of the first task group in the task list into the display area comprises: determining a reference distance between an initial position of the first task group in the task list and a top of the task list; and setting a third position in the task list to be at the same height as a top of the display area in response to a difference between the reference distance and a preset margin being smaller than a threshold, wherein the third position is a position with a distance of the difference to the top of the task list. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method according to claim 6, wherein the threshold is a difference value between a height of the task list and a height of the display area. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The method according to claim 6, further comprising: setting a bottom of the display area and a bottom of the task list to be at the same height in response to the difference between the reference distance and the preset margin being greater than or equal to the threshold. ### Claim 9 An electronic device, comprising: a processor; a memory for storing processor-executable instructions; wherein the processor is configured to: display a task list, wherein the task list comprises one or more task groups, and each task group comprises one or more tasks; display a navigation floating window in response to detecting a navigation outgoing call operation, wherein, for each task group in the task list, the navigation floating window comprises a task group control corresponding to the task group, and an order of task group controls in the navigation floating window matches an order of the task groups in the task list; and position a position of a first task group in the task list into a display area in response to detecting a positioning operation performed on a first task group control in the navigation floating window. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The electronic device according to claim 9, wherein the processor is configured to: perform an editing operation on a task group control corresponding to at least one task group in the navigation floating window in response to detecting an editing operation performed on the at least one task group. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The electronic device according to claim 9, wherein the processor is configured to: in response to detecting an operation of creating a task group, obtain an identifier of the created task group and a sorting position of the created task group;
