I handle this in two ways, depending on my goals.
1. In Planning mode, I'll reorder actions and action groups to reflect my current sense of priorities or workflow.
2. I'll focus on a project and then switch to Context mode, where I can group and sort individual actions to my heart's content.
In other words, I think that OF provides the tools to do what you want, but the documentation might not explain how to do it. I've been using OmniFocus for over a year now, so it has become second nature to me, but I respect Matt Neuburg's views and I think that he made some good points.
By the way, as I recall the discussion in the forums, the switch from Project mode to Planning mode was made, at least in part, because the Inbox is also in Planning mode, and it's not a project.
