Do you use the duration field at all? If not, you can get the ability to reorder tasks in a context perspective using the duration field. Set the grouping to ungrouped, sorted by duration, and enter time values to order the list. Tasks will be ordered top to bottom by least to most duration. Task with no duration assigned will drop to the bottom of the list.

You can leave gaps in the duration for adding and/or reordering tasks without having to change the duration on the other tasks. In other words, if I assign the durations to the tasks below, they will appear as:

Task A 2m
Task B 6m
Task C 10m
Task D Unassigned

If I later add a task that I want to appear in the middle of the list and also decide that Task D should appear at the top of the list, I can easily re-order the list by changing only Task D's duration and giving the new task (Task E) a duration that puts it where I want it in the list:

Task D 1m
Task A 2m
Task E 4m
Task B 6m
Task C 10m
