Would you be happy if you spent time dragging your items into a specific order, and the next time you opened OmniFocus, they were no longer in that order? Or if you went to OmniFocus on another device and they were in a different order? Other people want to manually reorder other views, not just the flagged view. The same argument applies there. So now, OmniFocus has to store a whole new set of ordering information, and sync that information around, and these changes need to be rolled out simultaneously on all 3 apps (not something that happens very often). Is it still sounding very easy? :-)

Interesting. I bet if OF ran a survey, they would find most customers only use one OF product at a time. Why not design for the majority? Even if a sort were required each time an OF variant were opened, how different could it be from that little database optimization dance OF iPhone already does? Add a few milliseconds? Design for the user, not the designer, and check your assumptions.
