Am I right in understanding that this would require having set times on all
the tasks? My tasks are not all dated. anyway, I don't really want to rely
on a defect :-)

I ran into a snag with Pottster's idea also. In order to sort by Starred
Date I have to un-star and re-star the task, but since my list is filtered
on star, I lose my task from the list. I created a temporary flag to mark
all of the tasks that I want to sort right now, but that doesn't help when
a new task joins the list, because then each time I have to set that
property and un-star and re-star the whole list. There may be a way to make
it work, but my brain is not up to it this morning.
