Depending on what you're trying to do, another option that may help would be a context mode Perspective that's grouped by project and sorted by due date.

You can set up a perspective like that with these steps:

View -> Context Mode
View -> Sidebar Filter -> Remaining (or whatever you prefer)
View -> Grouping -> Project
View -> Sorting -> Due
View -> Status Filter -> Remaining (again, modify to taste)

Next, select
Perspectives -> Save Window As -> New Perspective
from the menu bar. Give the perspective a name and you're all set to return to this view from the Perspectives menu in the future.
