Anna, Thanks for getting back with us. Due date and Priority would be effected by manual sorting. If you sort by Priority or Due date the dividers change to reflect the sorting procedure. So if you move these tasks to a different divider, the attributes of the divider is changed within the task.
This is a difficult concept to explain but it does make sense in situations when people are not sorting Alphabetically. We hope this answers your question. We look forward to your response.
