Is there any way to add a sorting function to your Next Actions list where you can sort it so that all of your stand alone next actions are listed along with ONLY those very next actions for each Project? For example, if I want to see my truly next actions, those would be:

A) any stand alone action that I'm responsible;
B) any action within Project that is the one to be completed next in a sequential series of actions.

What I mean by B) above is that if you have a Project that the action steps are sequential in nature, you have to do the first before you can do the second and so on. It's of no benefit to list all the actions on a Next actions list for a sequential project because you can't do tasks 2-x until task 1 is completed. Therefore, task 1 should be the only one viewable for that project.

Another way to handle this is to assign "sequential" or "parallel" designation to each project. Then in the next actions list, parallel projects can list all of it's actions as next actions (or those that are designated as next actions) and sequential projects list only the very next action in the series (or the one listed a the top of the list).

Thank you for the consideration.
