Hi Andrey, No no :) I was not suggesting to change any existing function. But to ADD a new timestamp called CreatedOrRecurred. So altogether you would have 4 timestamps: Created, Modified, Completed, CreatedOrRecurred. It only needs to be visible under 'Sorting' panel as far as I'm concerned.
Like you guessed, modified field it not helpful in this case.
