"Later" tasks should be less urgent than task without any due date

One issue with this is that tasks with no due date are not really sorted -- they're just always forced to the end of the list. How should it work when the sort is reversed? Currently, reverse sort puts 'later' tasks on top, and tasks with no date still at the bottom.

You should have a look at dleft_sort_func in browser.py: this the
function that define the sorting order. By modifying it you should be
able to make "later" tasks coming after tasks with no due date.

Maybe Kevin could commit for 0.2. If not, report it to 0.3. This is not a release blocking bug.

My question was about the expected behavior with descending sort (most distant due date on top). Before, tasks with no due date would remain on the bottom in that view. It's likely not important because there's no real reason to sort that column backwards. I went ahead and made it so no_date is not treated specially -- it's just treated as a date infinitely far in the future, yet before 'later'.
