Hi, Laurence
Implementing that involves some custom widget work in the graphics
library Chandler uses, wxPython. So, for an expert (i.e. not me :),
it's probably not a lot of work -- any experts on the list have an
opinion?
(Also, possibly there is some existing open source code out there that
has done this kind of thing, too).
On the other hand, the end-user question is whether this should be
default behaviour, since if you're sorted by triage, it can involve
items leaping about unexpectedly in the table. But this part of the
discussion should probably go to the users list.

In the thread "[chandler-users] easiest way to mark task as done?"
Mike brings up a good point about Triage. It kinda irks me that
when I click the status of a "Now" item to change it, the item
remains in the "Now" section until I update the Triage (i.e. press
the "Triage" button). It seems to me that should be automatic. On
the other hand, if the item moved automatically it would REALLY irk
me if I wanted to change that same item's status to "Done" because
once I clicked "Now" and it turned to "Later" I would have to track
it down again to change it to "Done". That, in layman's terms,
would suck.
How much work would be involved in changing the "Now/Later/Done"
toggle into a sort of context menu with all three options on it?
Assuming that's not too difficult, it should be relatively simple to
run whatever routine updates the Triage when the status changes,
right?
Just some thoughts,
-Laurence
