Hi Richard, It varies by view. Usually the order is driven by a dependency or logical sequence in a project. For single tasks I tend to filter by due date and then group by context/flag. The groups are small enough for the order not to matter or, if I had a preference, I would just use a manual sort. I find that I like to look at a group of tasks and use my instinct to decide what to do next (shades of Autofocus). Obviously, I have to beware of "cherry picking" but sometimes that's a good strategy if a quick succession of easy tasks help build up a momentum. I should say that I use the allocation of Due Dates as a way of both prioritising and load balancing. Undated tasks tend to not have as high a priority but are re-evaluated during scheduled reviews. I guess my problem with computed priorities, based purely on 30 years of management experience, is that my priorities have rarely been static. A complicated algorithm would be obsolete the moment I set it up. ymmv.
