Well, only if there's no consensus: every visible configuration option we add has an associated cost in perceived complexity. (OmniFocus can already be pretty intimidating—something we're trying to address.)

But if everyone agrees that the earlier behavior of sorting by Flagged & Due is better, we'll just do it that way. (Perhaps we'll extend the behavior to the iPad app as well to improve consistency—unless it would be inappropriate there due to different usage scenarios.)
