new task from home page adds task at end rather than sorting

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/938

If you create an action from the home page it appears at the bottom of the relevant context rather than being sorted into the proper spot. This is similar to bug #393 (resort on edit)

What do you mean by "sorted into the proper spot"? GTD doesn't really have a concept of "ordering" for anything, so Tracks doesn't, either, at this point. We have a patch in the pipeline for manually sorting tasks, so maybe its time us core GTD folks give up this bit of ground and let people actively "order" tasks.

I guess at the most basic what I mean is that if you do something like add an action from the Home page, the AJAX-y update of the page should make it look like it would if you reloaded it. In particular if you create a new action with a due date, it is placed at the bottom of the appropriate context even if a reload would (because of the due date) display it at the top of the context.

Okay, that makes sense. Any chance you could write up some tests for it so I've got a target to hit?

Unfortunately I don't know anything about rails. I installed it a couple of days ago to try tracks. I will probably learn about rails if only to hack on tracks, but I don't know when I'll get to it. Perhaps I should add a project to remind me...

Tracks was one of my first Rails projects, and I believe a learning experience for the other maintainers, as well. It's getting a bit crufty, but with the TLC I'm giving it right now and some more help it should be a lot cleaner soon. I think it's a great project to cut your teeth on Rails with, and writing tests is a great way to get your feet wet.

This also happens if you edit a task and change the context. The task moves to the other context "live", but does not sort by due date.
