Re: Re: Triage Sort in the NOW sections

Seems like we're mostly on the same page about sorting in the LATER  
section, but still not settle on the issue of sorting in the NOW  
section.

The 2 options we've discussed thus far for improving sorting in the  
NOW section are:

1. Explicit ordering in the NOW section? versus
2. Auto-sorting items in the NOW section by the Date column (a la  
LATER section) while keeping 'new, unread' items at the top.

It seems to me that if you had a small NOW section, you would prefer 1.
If you had a large NOW section, you'd prefer 2.

Bryan, do you have any questions/insights re: implementation?
