Hmm. My original assumption was that Advanced Sort was not possible unless you selected Manual Sort, but this is not the case. My original Outline View sometimes has it greyed out, and I re-enable it by toggling the Manual Sort checkbox as I described (although I normally leave Manual Sort selected and go to another view before going back to turn it off again). For your Aside: In the Advanced Sort dialog box is a checkbox at the bottom to allow you to sort all subtasks recursively, which is an action that cannot be undone looking at the warning message. But this re-sort only affects the currently selected folder/project/task. If the recursive box is not checked then only the child tasks (of the currently selected task) are sorted.
