Works only for - [x] but not for * [x]

Apparently, it is possible to create todo lists with both dashes and astersiks in Obsidian. If the styles are mixed which can happen if you convert bullet points into checkboxes with a hotkey then sorting doesn't work any more.

Considering that MR was not accepted, I made a crutch. The code for editing the code in the plugin is directly ".obsidian\plugins\todo-sort\main.js"

// src/sort.ts
function sortTodos(plainText, sortOrder) {
  const lines = plainText.split("\n");
  const lineInfos = lines.map((value, originalIndex) => {
    let todoMatch = value.match(/^\s*[-*] \[(.)\]/i); // modify
    const todo = !!todoMatch;   // modify
    const completed = !!todoMatch && todoMatch[1] != " "; // modify
    const indentation = value.length - value.trimStart().length;
    return { originalIndex, value, todo, completed, indentation };
  });
  const sortedLineInfos = sortLineInfos(lineInfos, sortOrder);
  const lineMap = {};
  for (let i = 0; i < sortedLineInfos.length; i++) {
    const lineInfo = sortedLineInfos[i];
    lineMap[lineInfo.originalIndex] = i;
  }
  const output = sortedLineInfos.map((lineInfo) => lineInfo.value).join("\n");
  return { output, lineMap };
}
