MS Outlook, Task List Sorting

When the Outlook Task List is sorted ascending, tasks with the due date
"None" come before the most immediate tasks. The only other option is to
sort Descending, in which case the most immediate tasks are near the bottom,
right above the None events. Its a counter-intuitive order to things. Users
should be able to put the most immediate tasks with solid deadlines first.
 
This suggestion of this thread describes what is, in fact, an error in
Outlook's implementation; please fix it.

To restate what KJM says below from an implementation point of view, Outlook
treats a due date of "None" as though it were "zero". Outlook should sort
such tasks as though the due date were "infinity"; this is what people
actually mean when they enter a task with no due date.
