Really looking forward to reading this. Moving from Blackberry to iPhone, the thing I miss the most is lack of functionality with task (iOS calls "reminder") functionality. Blackberry could sort and filter via category that synced with MS Outlook tasks, which is central to my GTD.

I can't figure out how iOS sorts reminders within a date. Viewing reminders in:
--"List" view, allt h items seem to be randomly placed without sorting. They do NOT appear to be sorted by "Due", "remind me", or any detail.
--"Date" view..at least I can see what has a due date for a given day. Would like to (for 1 example) filter so can see what is due today AND what is past due.

I usually sort my next actions ("tasks") by
#1 due date (ascending)
#2 reminder time (ascending)..not all NA's have a reminder time..but does help me prioritize
#3 level importance (descending importance)
#4 amt time needed (ascending amt of time needed)
