> Personally I think paying too much concern to list order limits your
available options...

Well, that's nice, but... different people have different styles and
personalities.  I'm too likely to make poor decisions if there are a
bunch of possibilities and I have constantly review what to do next.
I also tend to get paralyzed when I see a large list.  I'm learning I
do better with a closed list for the day.

I love the way that MLO orders tasks in a "suggested priority", but I
only want to review that list once a week for weekly goals and once a
day for daily goals, and move selected tasks to a closed list.  Then I
want a view where I can see only what I've decide to work on for today
(whether that's a "must do" or a "want to do" list is irrelevant).  In
this mode, I want to be able to easily order tasks within that view
(but probably still be able to set priorities that affect the other
views, in case for instance I decide to remove an item from today but
still need to do it sometime this week).

So I think a separate field makes a lot of sense, plus a separate view
or mode where "manual ordering" takes place.  I definitely do *not*
want to have to manually set "A1" etc, that would be so much of a pain
nobody would do it.  Simple drag/drop or even "up/down" ordering is
sufficient.  A/B/C is optional, but personally I think adding a "today
goal" like so many have suggested would be much better.  These might
be things considered "have to do today" and the others are "try to do
today."

I don't want MLO to change to some simpler scheme, I just want to be
able to use the auto-priority system to guide me in making daily/
weekly decisions.
The manual ordering isn't so much about "I have to do these in this
order", but rather a way of prioritizing my time once rather than
having to make that decision multiple times in the day.

I currently use a context for personal/business today tasks, and it
sort of works, but having more control on ordering in that list, and
having a "today goal" would add a lot to this scenario.

Thx,
Stephen
