Here is something I wrote up a while back...does this help?

MLO organizes tasks differently from many other task systems, which is
often confusing to new users. Before you decide how to organize your
tasks, you need to understand the difference between the outline (your
task tree) and
views.
In MLO, tasks have a static position in a tree structure, called the
outline. The outline is where your tasks reside, similar to files in a
file system on your computer. Your tasks will maintain their position in
the outline until you choose to move them, even when you change other
properties such as status, due date, etc. You can restructure your
outline and move tasks around whenever you like, or ask MyLifeOrganized
to go through parts of your outline and sort the tasks for you. But by
design, there is no dynamic sorting of your task outline - that is what
views are for.
An MLO view takes your task outline and filters it to a subset, sorts
and groups this subset, and presents it to you in a list (or tree) of
tasks that is specific and relevant to your current activity. You can
think of a view as similar to a saved search which is updated as your
tasks evolve. The software comes with a set of pre-defined views, and
you can also customize these or write your own. For example, here is a
sampling of a few of the built-in views. "
Active Actions by Flag" collects all of the tasks from the Outline that
can be worked on immediately, and groups them by the Flag they have been
assigned. "Due next 7 days" shows you only the tasks that have a due
date prior to seven days from now. The hierarchical "Projects" view
displays all projects and the subtrees underneath them.
Many combinations of properties can be used to define the filter and
sort criteria of views, to show you only those tasks you want in the
view. Views can be hierarchical, meaning that they show you a subset or
filtered view of your outline. However, a key point to understand is
that views don't change the location of the task in the outline.

Thanks a lot, Dwight! It works.
So, it does it only once...Seemingly, there is no option for permanent
rule? E. g. sorted by Caption task starting from "Z" always goes to the
bottom.

Hi, Yury. I experimented a little and I found that "sort subtasks" is
grayed out in every view except for "all tasks." In fact, I saved an
exact copy of "all tasks" and named it "test1" and the option was
grayed out in test1 but not in AllTasks. So my suggestion would be: go
the the actual, original "all tasks" view and use it to rearrange your
subtasks.

Elizabeth, edition is Professional, this should be fine, 4.2.2.
Stephen, I have tried Outline, no filters, no grouping, no sorting,
closed are shown - but still it is disabled.
Any other ideas :) ?
