Default Ranking Tasks

In Outlook, how can I change the order of tasks listed?
I can put them into High Priority, Medium Priority, and Low Priority but...
I don't know how to change the order viewed within those Priorities.

Default Ranking Tasks

You can Sort and Group when viewing your Tasks.
http://judygleeson.com/sorting_grouping.aspx has an article about doing that
in Contacts - it is the same in the Tasks folder.

You did not state your Version or what View you want help with. So if you
want more help, please come back and tell me BOTH those things.

Here are some tips about how to post questions:

I added a numeric field and assigned numbers to tasks. Now I can sort
by that field. It is, as they say, impossible to prove a negative, but
I'd bet there is no built-in way to do what you seek in Outlook,
unless you use some other built-in field this way. I considered making
catagories like 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, etc., and this would have worked,
but seemed to me to violate what "catagories" are for; they're
catagories, not priorities. Heck, you could also use the name of the
task to order them, but this would also be a kludge.

I alternate among a number of tasks and groups of tasks at a time
according to my ability to move each of them forward, and I always
have a number of them in the queue. Each task is part of a group. Each
group has a priority. Tasks within groups also have a priority within
the group. Hi, Normal, and Low is just not granular enough for my
needs.
