Steve,

I've replaced Weekly Goals with an "@_Today" context for flagging
items to go onto my "Today" list.  I've normalized all the Importance
and Urgency settings and...unfortunately using the Urgency slider
doesn't really work.  I am getting a very similar behavior to what I
was previously: moving a task up or down with the slider is *very*
jerky.  In some places it advances task-by-task (which is the behavior
I want) -- and in some places it advances over 5 or 6 other tasks in
one jump, and I can't place it in the middle of that task clump, no
matter how hard I try.

It's really crazy not to be able to directly drag-and-drop tasks to a
particular spot in the to-do list!  I seriously think there needs to
be *three* settings in the To-Do Ordering Behavior dialog:
Hierarchical Score, Computerized Priority, and a new one: "Manual
Ordering". The task order achieved as a result of choosing "Manual"
should be persistent between sessions, so that I can come back to the
same order that I set up previously.

My observation from watching the past few years of  MLO's development
is that a lot of work was put into rationalizing the Computed Score
Priority.  This was partially motivated based on MLO's background as a
competitor to Life Balance, which was one of the first to-do programs
to automatically rank tasks in a "suggested" order. I think it's time
to gently move this part of MLO's DNA  into the background.  Life
Balance is no longer the dominant player in Task/To-Do programs, and
people come to MLO from a lot of different directions.  I understand
that a lot of people are using the Computed Score Priority ranking in
their daily work, and that option should certainly be left in place
for them. But I bet there are a lot of people who would like something
different, and I'm definitely one of them.

Nick
