Right now projects ordered by alphabet A-Z pattern. My suggestion to make users decide how they wish to order projects. It can be done via manually setting a "weight" for the project in project options.
For example, we have next projects list:
- dddd
- bbbbb
- eeeee
- aaaaa
- ccccc
It will be displayed at left pane as: (ordered by A-Z)
- aaaa
- bbbb
- cccc
- dddd
- eeee
I wish to have an option in each project where I can set "weight". What is "weight"? It's number. Project with less number will be displayed at the top, the project with the higher number will be displayed at the end.
So, for example, i have something like this:
- dddd [5]
- bbbbb [50]
- eeeee [3]
- aaaaa [2]
- ccccc [1]
It will be displayed as:
- ccccc [1]
- aaaaa [2]
- eeeee [3]
- dddd [5]
- bbbbb [50]
For what is this feature requested? GTD like workflow, where you have inbox and something like this and wish to highlight some projects from others at top of the list and concentrate attention on these projects.
Right now if we will add "inbox" project, the project will be somewhere in a middle list of all projects and not on the top.
Hi DrWho, Looks like you are speaking from a developer’s angle, which is probably not easily understood by ordinary people who are especially non-tech-savvy. Thank you for the suggestion though, we will consider it.

@crystal You did not understand me, or I did explain idea badly.
I talk about very primitive and effective system of ordering things which used in many forum software, and so on. You can set "order" how an item will be displayed manually via numbers at settings of a project. Not in a project name.
This order its an array of numbers. (indexes) how things will be displayed in the final list.
All that you need to do its sort array from lower to the maximum number and than represent data related to the index to project name. Very simple and very stupid, all that needs to do it's add a field to projects structure data called "index", and add a function which will order project names by "index"
Drag'N'Drop feature maybe will be good too, but very hard to implement for you that what I suggest it's making a very stupid and primitive thing which can solve a problem of project order without too much coding.

Hi DrWho, So the number at the end of each project determines the project order. Interesting idea. We have been thinking about letting users order their projects via drag & drop, but it can get complicated when it comes to returning to the default alphabetical order...
