Tasks with No Due Date should be sorted last on Outlook Today

While I can sort tasks first by priority and second by due day, when I do
this, any tasks which have no due day show above those is a due day of, for
example, tomorrow. This configuration does not allow me to simply look at
the top of my tasks to get the task I should work on next. I have search to
it to make sure the one I pick is the next one to do.

I tried to get around this by adding a user field with the formula
DueDate='None" and then sort on that before sorting on the due date. But
unfortunately that field isn't available to sort on (probably because it is a
formula).
Maybe add a simple numeric column via a new field and enter 1 for items with
due dates when creating the task and then sort (descending) on this and then
sort by due date as a secondary sort.
It is a pain to have to add this step when creating a task (and I think can
only do it on the taskpad itself unless you can add a user field to the task
box dialog?) - but it could work in the meantime while Bill sorts it out!
