The placement of items at the top of the inbox is by design - we intend to change that eventually, but the Mail Drop will ship with the current behavior.

Making the mail drop work the way folks would prefer would require updating all three editions of OmniFocus; we don't want to do that right now. We've heard folks say loud and clear that they want OmniFocus 2 for Mac as soon as we can manage it. Part of accomplishing that means making compromises in service of the larger goal.

Ditto with regards to the auto-filing features; it would take longer to implement than we have available right now. Ship the feature now so folks can benefit from it, then improve it later when we've got room on the schedule. Votes added to the existing feature request on that, though. :-)
