patch to sort beyond just dates

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. just look at your list of tasks
2. note that it only sorts on date.. otherwise, there's no ordering thereafter

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

it would be nice to see it sort on priority, then (optionally) the names
(alphabetically)

What version of Milk the Cow are you using? On which version of OS X?

0.4.4 on leopard

Please provide any additional information below.

here's a patch with what i'm currently running:
