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.
