It *is* included in the sorting. All #D's come after the #A's, #B's,
and #C's. Only that "all #D's" includes all entries that have no
specified priority. Within each main priority, the precise order of
the entries is determined by other factors well, like if it is a
deadline or an overdue scheduled item..... That make the D's look
random and the other not - but the same is going on everywhere.
You can look at the computed priority (which is used for sorting) by
pressing (I think) "P" on every item.
Would you like to make a proposal for a paragraph in the manual to
clarify this? Or are you proposing to change how this works?
