Seriously, why do people say such foolish things. Everything has inherent prioritization. If I give you a set of 30 tasks. You are going to rank them by priority first, context second. It doesn't matter if you have 6 other tasks of the same context, if you need to move on to next highest priority to satisfy your clients deadlines.
There is also linear priority. Task A must happen before Task B. OF does this well, so long as you have only 1 project. The list is inherently ordered by what needs doing first. But if you have a second project of equal priority to the first with its own linear list of tasks, it appears prioritized behind the first since OF doesn't have multicolumn views.
When you have hundreds of tasks in a dozen different projects, there must be a way at the beginning of the day to decide what to do next. Context isn't really relevant until you sort what needs to happen first.
