Sorting Tasks: Features and Fixes

The majority of effort in this release went on overhauling the code for sorting tasks. In adding tests, I found and fixed a number of issues with the current sorting code. See the Fixes list below.

• Added sort by happens - this sorts by the earliest of scheduled, start and due dates.
• Added sort by filename
• Added sort by heading

Also, group by filename now links to the note, for quick navigation. Thanks @ilandikov!
