Oh! You want it to aggressively reorder every time you change tasks
instead of just when you save? That can be done, although I turned it
off when I was experimenting with it because stuff kept jumping
around.

(defadvice planner-raise-task-priority

How to change this:

;; Use a macro for the setup around planner-update-task so
;; the same setup can be used in planner-multi.el
(defmacro with-planner-update-setup (&rest body)
  "Execute BODY then save buffers according to `planner-tasks-file-behavior'.
Also sets some variables to modify font-lock behaviour while updating."
  (let ((live-buffers (make-symbol "live-buffers")))
    `(save-window-excursion
       (save-restriction
         (let ((,live-buffers (and (eq planner-tasks-file-behavior
                                       'close)
                                   (buffer-list))))
           ,@body
           (when planner-tasks-file-behavior
             (planner-save-buffers ,live-buffers nil)))))))
             ;; JEREMY: nil last argument instead of t so that it fixes things
   
and then set planner-tasks-file-behavior to something like 'save.

Hope that helps!
