MLO lets me choose to sort by a variable that doesn’t actually do anything
Mark, that's not at all true. I don't personally like computed-score but for sure it really does do something. The problem is not that computed-score does nothing, the problem is that you are trying to sort a hierarchy, and it's not clear what it even would mean to do that. You are indicating that you want the branches sorted in the order of the highest priority task per branch. That's an interesting idea, one that I have no heard before, and worthy of some consideration. But the way that you describe it seems hard to implement, because you are sorting the items at one level (the root) but the order is determined by items that are arbitrarily far down the tree.
Lets look at it a different way. I think that what you want could be described this way: I want to see the tasks in my profile, sorted in order of decreasing priority, with the parents of each task shown.
MLO can do this. Just set up a to-do list of tasks in priority order, then look at the filter definitions in the left sidebar, in the general section, and change "show hierarchy" from No to Yes. The word "config" will appear after the word "yes" (make sure the sidebar is wide enough to show it). Click on config and then turn on inclusion of parents and turn off inclusion of children. Let me know please how you like the result.
