Hi Pieter and Andre,
Can I ask you some more specific questions about what you mean by
chronological order? (The Date column displays only one of many
possible dates associated with any given item.)
Or perhaps a different way to think about it is: What were you trying
to do when you were reviewing your Triage Sections?
+ Find a particular item?
+ Review what you had done last week?
+ Review what was coming up next week?
+ Other scenarios?
We have logged a bug for revisiting the sub-sort post-Preview. We
were unable to implement the entire spec for sub-sorting: http://
bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8939
FYI: The 'ideal' design according to the spec sub-sorts the Triage
Status column in chronological order in the following way:
+ Sort the NOW section in the order that items become NOW. This
includes:
- When an item was created
- When an item was received via Email
- When an item was 'tickled' into NOW due to an alarm firing or an
event date/time passing
- When an item was explicitly marked as NOW
+ Sort the LATER section in the order of when items 'will become'
NOW. (This is the functionality that has been punted to Future.)
- Stuff that is imminent is at the top.
- Stuff further into the future is at the bottom.
+ Sort the DONE section in the order of when items became DONE. (So
that you have easy access to that stuff you most recently marked as
DONE.)
- Stuff that you just marked as DONE is at the top.
- Stuff that was DONE ages ago is at the bottom.

I find the current sort order of items in the Triage list
incomprehensible and not particularly useful. Especially trying to
find Later and Done items in a long section is problematic.
It would be so nice when I've Triaged my list to have the sections
sort in chronological order (and maybe even have the sections persist
but allow me to toggle the ascending/descending direction)
