[Design] triage list view - sorting

[Davor Cubranic]

Yes! This would be hugely useful, IMHO.

(BTW, I think I would prefer that sorting of Now and Later sections be 
done by whichever is earlier of the custom alarm and start time, but 
that's just a guess at what would fit my current workflow better. It's 
hard to tell for sure until I can try it out.)
