Separate sorting rules by file

[swantzter]

Feature Request

Description:
I work with a system of two todo.txt files: todo.txt and detailed-todo.txt.
My todo.txt contains somewhat more high-level tasks sorted by priority and generally has 1-3 tasks at A priority at a time - those I'm currently working on.
My detailed-todo.txt then has smaller tasks for those "A" priority tasks in case it grew larger than anticipated, and I would much rather have those sorted/grouped by project. However, if I change the sorting order in sleek today it changes globally for all files.

Implementation Details:
I'd envision this could be done in a couple different ways, it seems todotxt/todo.txt#1 on adding comments to the file format, which would allow something like a vim modeline, has stalled. Some clients (as seen in the referenced issue) has implemented support for comments with # anyway.

A more compliant alternative would probably be to store in sleek a mapping from filepath => sorting+filters config.

I would also envision that you'd maybe add a "override defaults for this file" toggle, so by default changing sorting order and filters would be global. But enabling that switch would create a per-file config that applies to only the current file. And switching it off would reset it to the globals (likely by removing the override filename=>settings mapping in storage)
