I think we need to reconsider our approach to priorities. As I use Propel I find that setting a priority is more of a pain than it's worth.
For example, I have about twenty projects, and the date they're due is more important than the priority I set. So that's how I order them.

At the same time, some projects that are ongoing, don't have an end date. So sorting by end date isn't always helpful even though they may have tasks that need to be completed by a certain date.

Another example is that if we replace setting a "Priority" with drag and drop sorting for projects and tasks; then what happens when two users are signed in and want to re-order them differently than the other person? We have to exponentially keep track of the priority for both users...

We could utilize this filtering so "Trash", "Completed" and "Archived" are categories instead of links along the top above the table.
