Ah, ic. That certainly makes sense.
I think we could solve Pieter's problem if we sub-sorted items in the order
that they 'would have' been triaged by users.
So basically events and items with alarms would appear in the DONE section
with the most recent stuff at the top and the oldest stuff at the bottom. In
the LATER section, events and items with alarms would appear with the most
imminent stuff at the top and stuff farthest in the future at the bottom.
Yes, this is exactly how I would expect to see the list and
subsections organized; Now and Later sections in ascending chrono
order (most imminent stuff at the top) and the Done section in
reverse chrono order (oldest stuff last). That way Later section items
move upward until they pop into the Now section, and when they are
done they drop down to the top of the Done section.
The only remaining issue from my perspective is which date to use for
sorting, and that we should iterate on based on user feedback. Though
I'd suggest all items in the Done section sort on their start time,
not the time they were stamped done, or what the alarm trigger was set
to. (It might be nice for the record to add a time/date stamp in the
note field when the item is stamped Done) And certainly not the end
time. If you're looking up your Xmas vacation last year you'd expect
to find it listed as "Vacation - Dec. 25, 2006" not "Vacation - Jan.
3, 2007".
Questions
1. How much work would it be to implement this for the import and subscribe
scenarios?
2. Does what we have now inhibit adoption?
I'm not sure what the answer is to question 2. Perhaps I should just log
this bug and we can wait to see if other dogfooders run into the same
problems Pieter ran into?

Assuming you're not sharing triage status, items will be ordered by the time
their triage status was set - so in this case, since they're autotriaged on
arrival, it's the order they arrived.
