Hmm, yeah sorting in addition to using the Changed grouping would help a little. I just think OmniFocus can and do better than that. :)

Also, isn't step 2 of the weekly review "get Inbox to zero"? :)

Yes. Um, but I can't see how that helps here.
I try to get inbox to zero every day if I can. And it's not uncommon that an Action that I captured into the inbox, which, during my daily review, I corralled into its rightful project (assuming it exists already), needs to be the Next Action (perhaps after some clarifying). Until I review that project, and shuffle things around, that new action is going to live at the bottom of the action list in the project.
So - the reality has changed, the project is "dirty", and I need a clear way to see that it needs to be reviewed and brought up to date again. I think I need to be able to do this in order to trust the system.

That looks like a useful script, thanks for sharing it!

Cool, yeah I hope it helps. I really do think that OF should advance the next review date, or give some other indication that a project needs review, if it's changed. Till then, this script should work, it's an extra step before the review but it takes only seconds. I've been using the script for a couple days now and it seems to work pretty well.
