Spike, Bud: why don't done you read the help text before you start being upset and wasting peoples time on the forum?
OK, I should not be so harsh, and just suggest you do so, and then raise your questions again, or in the context of being an educated user. First of all, when you have passed your start date, the task becomes active, so suddently its on your screen When you pass Start date, The distance of NOW from the START and DUE have a cancelling effect. In general, if NOW is before either Date the impact is negative, and when NOW is after either the impact is positive. THUS, once you pass the start date the impact on priority, compared to a default task, is negative UNTIL you are closer to the due date than the start date, then the impact is positive. In otherwords, your default tasks (priority of 1.000 will fill the space between your tasks with dates for start and due that are less than and greater than half way 'done'. There is no way I know of of (yet) to avoid this. Sorting options are not really a help, as you do not want to force all started tasks to the top, as if they have top priority, when undated tasks might have a higher priority be more deserving of your attention. You can use the sliders in the Options, but you have to almost move them to opposite ends of the scale to make it work for a task with a duration of 5 days, and the wider the spread between the Start and Due dates, the less impact this correction has so eventually you have tasks that have started with a priority of less than one. Also, I am not sure of the impact this spread has on tasks with only a start or due date, relative to undated tasks. I feel it will be much more than I would like. Thus, without the insight and help of a guru greater than we have met so far, you are stuck with this odd consequence on the prioritization of your tasks.
