The overall answer is no, you can't sort by a date with manual override at the same time. However, there is a way of doing it in two steps. I'm going to complicate my answer now:
It's an interesting philosophical question: By arranging them into a list sorted by start-date, you would effectively be giving them a start date. MLO can't do what you're asking in one step (sort by start date but then override by manually moving items within the sorted list). However, if you have your Alt-F1 Views and Filter panes open, you can do it in two steps. Firstly, sort the list by start date. You can then go into the sort options for the filter and select manual sorting - from then on you can move your items without a start date to anywhere you like in your list. The disadvantage of the above is that any new tasks won't automatically get sorted by start date, so you'd either have to position them manually, or go back to sorting by start date and lose all your manual adjustments. Overall, my view is that a better option would be to give all tasks a start date (meaning the first date that you *can *do them, not the first date that you *plan to *do them - that second interpretation leads to a lot of adjusting dates and re-sorting). For tasks that you could start doing at any time, make the start date the same as the date you created them. Of course, this might not work with whatever purpose you use a view sorted by start dates.
