Isn't this a spiky little thread! Trying to answer the original query from Grant (pure guess though) I suspect the answer lies in GTD which heavily influenced early MLO development. In GTD all tasks are treated as "active" unless some constraint is applied such as deferral, delegation or time available to do the task for example. Applying a Start/Due Date (for whatever reason) is seen as a constraint rather than a priority. Not saying that's right or wrong it's just the way that system operates. Clearly, everybody works differently and apply their priorities in different ways. It would be difficult to say definitively what the default prioritisation should be since it's subjective rather than logical. I can sympathize that if it's wrong for you it's annoying and 100% wrong. Surely though the key point is the one made by Neal which is the software is flexible enough to accomodate most ways of working. Yes, that may involve a bit of effort and yes MLO isn't always the most intuitive program but it is powerful, flexible and very rewarding when you get it to work just the way you want. Disclosure: I'm not the developer and MLO is not my baby although I am very fond of it ;-)
