Here is a brief overview of how i use org-mode to solve (workaround?) the
issue you raised :

- I use a "NEXT" state for the next actions (i admittedly suppose most of
  the next actions should be done on ... today)

- Tags are only related to the context or the /kind/ of actions (:work:,
  :home: or :reading:, :writing:), making it easy to know what i can do
  depending on what i want to do

- I manually order the NEXT actions within a project so that they appear in
  the right order in the agenda view

- I manually order the project themselves (either within a file or by using
  C-c [ and C-c ]) so that projects appear in the right order

- I schedule a task iff it has to be done on a specific day.

Hope this helps, regards,
