When you put it that way it does make sense for a great deal of projects. I also appreciate the option to sort via the Edit menu. However, the sort options available via the Edit menu (By Name, By Date Added, By Date Completed) don't help. Is there a possibility we might see By Due Date added here? Date Added doesn't seem all that helpful. The nature of the way you suggest using OmniFocus is that you are just brain dumping tasks into it as opposed to thinking about it where the Date Added would come in handy. And Date Completed is only useful if you are viewing all items.
Am I the only one who has some of his "projects" as todo lists for certain ongoing projects? That is really why I need to sort the action items by due date within a project.
