I'd like to resurrect this thread because the ability to reorder tasks within context view would be extremely helpful.

One use case: many people use flags to designate items for a "do today" list (and Omni validated this by adding a "Due or Flagged" view option). But this only gets you part of the way towards an ordered task plan. Why? Items often share the same attributes that are used for sorting—due date, flagged status, or whatever. And while some people make a fresh decision about what to do every time you switch tasks, task ordering is helpful when you want to plan out your day and simply work through a list.

Since tasks can't be manually reordered in context view, planning a list that you can work through sequentially requires:

• renaming each task so "sort by name" forces a specific order, or
• going outside OmniFocus

For the second option, Bill Palmer and Curt Clifton suggested workflows involving TextEdit or OmniOutliner, but any of these options is kludgy at best.

OmniGroup, please allow users to reorder tasks within context view!
