Hi, John. The only function in MLO that I can think of that deals with the
sum of importance and urgency is Computed-Score. As you have discovered,
there are numerous other factors involved in Computed-Score, and if someone
who cannot mentally grasp it all (such as myself) tries to use it the
results can be unexpected. There is a definitive writeup on Computed-Score
in the Users Guide. It seems to be quite helpful for anyone who is
committed enough to Computedf-Score to actually invest the time necessary
to understand it.
However, sorting by either importance **OR* *urgency is quite simple. If
you have some views dominated by importance, others by urgency and others
by some combination of the two, I have no advice. Otherwise, I would
suggest that you combine your task's importance and urgency in your own
head to select a number representing overall priority of the task, and
enter it into either importance or urgency (I use importance) and then sort
by that field.
