You can sort the actions-look at
this recent thread for the how-to. The OP in that thread was asking about sorting projects in the sidebar, but if you put the focus inside a project in the main outline and follow the steps discussed, you can sort actions.
It's mentioned in that thread, and worth repeating here, that sorting with the Edit menu commands is not the same as a temporary sort using the View Bar. In other words, if you want the actions to remain sorted by due date, use the sort options under the Edit menu. If you want a temporary sort for a report, use the View bar to sort the actions.
