Description Sam Davis CLA 2011-01-21 17:45:42 EST 
It would be useful to be able to see tasks in the open/activate task dialog sorted with scheduled tasks and recently created tasks at the top. This would be particularly nice when trying to copy context to a scheduled task.
Comment 1 Sam Davis CLA 2011-02-22 21:40:22 EST 
I'm always trying to find a task I was looking at earlier, and it's really hard if I don't remember the title. It would be useful to be able to see:

* recently opened tasks, as opposed to recently activated
* tasks I recently commented or made other changes to
* tasks that recently had incomings
Comment 2 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-08-11 07:57:33 EDT 
I often activate tasks that I had active before so the current behavior works well for me and is easy to comprehend. I see your point though. We could support this through a seeing in the dialog. It would be interesting to see if the ordering suggested in comment#1 is even more useful than the current implementation.
