Better default Task sorting in Daily Note

Hi,

In the 'Tasks' section below the Daily Note that shows overdue/started tasks, the tasks seem to be sorted somewhat arbitrarily. It's clear that the sorting checks overdue and priority first. But within a group where those are equal, it appears extremely arbitrary. Attaching a screenshot of what my current Tasks underneath my Daily Note looks like, when viewed as a List. And a second screenshot to show the labels ordering (as evidence that the first screenshot is ordered seemingly arbitrarily). Note the back-and-forth of their statuses in the list.

I understand that I can switch to a Table view or Kanban view in that section to get more customization. But that's not my goal. My ask is that the sorting in the default List view be obvious, or clearly communicated somehow.

My request/proposal: when other factors (such as overdue, priority) are equal, the default sorting should be by the task's Status, from more completed statuses towards the top, to the least towards the bottom ("a priority stack").

Let me know if I can share any more info. Thank you for the wonderful app.

Please, add ability to sort my tasks in Today Daily Note manually, by status, by priority.
