Even though I did advocate changing the order to the current "new" order
(or old depending on how long one's been using Chandler), I have also
had to make a slight adjustment of habit. Maybe one day triage status
order could be a preference. From my perspective, Now>Later>Done
supports better the triaging of new items, while Now>Done>Later supports
better the marking of items to Done in the moment that they are that, Done.

The Merits of New Mail Appearing in the Dashboard

I think part of my subconscious motivation for advocating the
Now>Later>Done order in support of front-end triaging is because new
Mail items appear also automatically in the Dashboard. In old threads
where this has been discussed, the agreement was to wait for more user
feedback before making any changes to this work flow. As an alternative,
I think what would be useful would be some kind of exclusion type of
view filter in the Dashboard collection, for example, All items except
Mail items, or more specifically, All items except items only stamped as
Mail. The point being that items only stamped as Mail in my Dashboard
are nearly always items I just haven't triaged yet. Does this make sense
to anyone besides me?  :)

Cheers, Andre
