I'd love to, but I currently am not quite sure how to do this
efficiently. At the moment, I've disabled automatic planner task
renumbering on my machine, as I realized that I didn't use it very
often. <sheepish grin>

One way to do this would be to build a list of tasks every time one
saved the buffer, and then use this list of tasks as a strict ordering
for tasks on linked plan pages, but that means we need to visit plan
pages all the time and reorder them. We sort of do that with
planner-id already, so I'll try to cache the changes and do them all
in one go.

Mm. I'll make a task for it so that I don't forget you asked, but it's
still up in the air. =) You can remind me about it if you feel it
becoming more important.

No prob. I'll cc the list with my reply.
