In the Context view, sorting operates on tasks.

In the Project view, the projects are sorted, but the tasks are left in their original order within each project.

If you also have grouping turned on, sorting may not have as much effect as you expect. If, for example, you group by due date and then sort by name, all the tasks due today will be alphabetized with respect to each other, but above all the tasks due next week.
