In Project view tasks can be indented/nested. Context view, however, is 'flat'/ unindented.
As Project view is for logical structure, and Context view shows pragmatic sequence, this makes some sense, but it can lead to a counter-intuitive sequence in Context view, in which more general tasks could look as if they must be carried out before more specific tasks. (See attached screendump).
The purist (and possibly correct?) response might be that indentation should not really be used in Project view, and that all nesting should be flattened to the distinction between Projects and Tasks. In practice, however, I think that users will appreciate and make good use of some further nesting.
Is there perhaps an argument for displaying that nesting in Context view as well as Project view ? It might avoid confusion about sequence of action in a flattened list.
