Would be very nice to be able to sort the tasks by the task due date.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Tasks should be displayed in order of their due date. The first one due should show up at the top, and the last one due should show up at the bottom. Child tasks should be sorted the same way under a parent. A parent task with no due date, should take either the earliest or latest date of all of its children. This should be configurable in the settings.

Thanks for the feture request Derek. It should be fairly straight forward to add an option for sorting by due date.  Frank, would you be interested in working on that?

> A parent task with no due date, should take either the earliest or latest date of all of its children.

I don't think that we can currently support that. The sorter only compares two elements at a time but does not traverse the hierarchy.
